The best present ever

Last year for Christmas my parents gave Zachary the smartest gift. They got a very cheap mp3 player and recorded themselves telling him bedtime stories. These stories are loaded on the mp3 player, and Zachary can listen to them whenever he wants. That way he can have Grandma and Grandpa tell him a story every day. He loves his" little pod."

If you don't already know, I grew up listening to the best bedtime stories ever. When we visit my parents, it is no problem to get the kids in bed, because they know if they are fast, grandpa will tell them a bedtime story.

Sometimes Zachary can't find his little pod, and it is because another kid has taken it. I often find it stashed underneath another kid's pillow.

What a fabulous idea! I think that will be the next gift for our 4 year old "out of state" grandson! He calls us on the phone whenever he needs to hear our voices, but the MP3 player idea is wonderful for bedtime stories! I love it!

Your kiddos are so blessed to have such special grandparents!...and speaking from a grandmother's perspective...your parents LOVE being so special in your kids lives!
