William meets his great-grandfather

Last week, William and mom traveled across the country to go see Will's great grandfather, Pop Pop, in Bethlehem, PA.

Traveling was a challenge (especially the way out, which involved a window seat, a giant German in the middle seat, a lack of changing tables in the bathroom, breastfeeding in the lavatory, a giant poop, and a meltdown during the fight attendant's safety demonstration) but more than worth it to allow these two kindred souls to meet!

Will arrived at Pop Pop's room in sleeping format...


But was soon strategically awakened by Gram, who removed articles of Will's clothing until his eyes opened and he leaped into Pop Pop's arms (well, with a bit of help).


This photo is a bit blurry but is my favorite - perhaps Uncle Toby can help? :-)

Pop and Will got along famously, immediately.


A close inspection by Pop Pop...

A high five...

William listens attentively...


Pop Pop listens attentively...

The deal is completed... lifelong friends.


More photos to come of Pop Pop's 88th birthday and Will's meeting of the minds with Eloise, our adopted grandmother and kind hostess for our Bethlehem visit!
