Another Grandchildren/Elvis Story

[ksimms2]

My 7, 4 & 3 yr. old nephews are same way...when the 7 yr. old was around 3 my sis and bro in law took him to one of those 50's themed diner's and apparently there was this life size stand up of Elvis...well my sis says that my nephew broke away from them @ the door, ran as fast as he could to the stand up, threw his arms around one leg and said "Elvis, Elvis"...my sis said for like 6 tables around diner's and staff clapped and couldn't believe that someone so small knew who that was...my sis told them it was thanks to his aunt. LOL

what an adorable story!!!!

One evening I had a headache so I went to the bedroom to lay down for a few moments. I turned on the "68 Comeback" DVD and had the volume down low. I just wanted to look at Elvis. Well, my 4 year old granddaughter came into the bedroom, stopped and stared at the tv for a few seconds. She asked "Nini, who is that?" I said, "thats Elvis". She said,
"Is he a real person?", of course I said yes. She left and stayed in the other room for a few minutes then came back in and stared at the tv for several minutes and then said,'Nine, Elvis is cute, he's reeeaaalll cute"! I loved it, she has loved Elvis ever since that night. She wants to have an Elvis birthday party this year.

I'm glad ya'll enjoyed the story. I have another Elvis story with this same granddaughter. I was babysitting with my three grand children, it was a beautiful day so we were out playing on the back deck. My husband pulled up and walked up the steps of the deck, he was singing and just in a happy mood. Well, my little Elvis loving granddaughter stopped playing, looked up at him and said "pawpaw, you sing really good", He said "thank you sweetheart". Of course, he felt so proud and you could see his head had really swelled. Well, she didn't miss a beat and said "but not as good as Elvis!". His head deflated like a popped balloon. LOL
