A Tail of Two Steve's

Gideon has 2 grandfathers. Both named Steve. Thankfully, to avoid confusion, he has a Grandpa and a Papaw. Whew. One Steve has tractors and semi's. One Steve has concrete trucks and front end loaders. One Steve offers corn, the other a cheese-chip-onion-tomato combo that's out of this world. Lucky kid. What strikes me even more is both Steve's love my so so much. And both turn into silly faced goofballs when trying to entertain him. He loves that. Always has a smile for Grandpa or Papaw Steve. To Papaw, Gideon is number 8 in a long line of fantastic kiddos, yet I think he holds a pretty special spot in Papaw's heart, and on his cell phone where a picture of him resides. Gideon is also their screen saver I noticed tonight. To Grandpa, Gideon is numero uno, the big cheese, the one and only. He also rests on Grandpa's phone, and on his screen saver. Grandpa is quick to pull out his brag book to anyone and everyone he can capture long enough to look. I think most cashiers on the east side of Indy know my dad is a grandpa! What amazes me is that whether he's number one or number eight, these Steve's love my boy. I mean, I know he's pretty darn cool, and totally cute, but wow, these grandpa's really love their boy! Both are willing to do whatever it takes to get a smile, and both have been thrown up on. Multiple times. All in the name of love. How cool is that? And how lucky is Gideon to have Steve's in spades. Especially Steve's who love him so much and can offer him so much as he grows and learns. What a rich life our boy will lead. And it will be all the more richer because of his Steve's!
