I See Stars!




Our grandson Trey, who is four years old,
 has always been a Star to me.
I send him things about stars, or
 with stars on them, or
 I put stars on things.
Stars Stars Stars Stars!!!

Before we moved away two years ago, 
Trey and I plastered
his ceiling with glow in the dark stars.
Now when he looks up from his bed,
he knows how much I love him!
And when we say good-bye to each other 
we always say;

"I Love You More Than There Are Stars In The Sky"


Before I left to come home, 
I made little STARS on pieces of paper,
 then taped them all throughout Trey's house.
He found a few stars before we left and got so excited.
I told him to call me when he finds
 all 24 of the stars.

Trey wanted to know, when all 24 stars were found, if he gets a "cup".
His dad explained, he meant a trophy.

So, I did what any grandma would do.
I went to find a trophy!

At the thrift store, 
 I found a trophy top with a STAR on it! 
I added a brass candle holder, which
I spray painted black 
Then I just glued both pieces together.

Now, I'm waiting for the phone call from Trey.

Where is that last star?
(I probably should of mapped them out!)

  2. What a creative grandmother you are! How special to have that 'star" bond between the two of you, and that you were able to create a little trophy just for him! That is just so special, and made my day to read your story :) Now... he just needs to find that last star, lol...
