Sleepover, the new frontier

Aidan's off at his first sleepover tonight.
It's all part of a birthday celebration with one of his good buddies he's known since way back in pre-school.

I'm so proud of him for agreeing to go.. it took a little conversation a day or two ago before he decided it was what he wanted to do. And I imagine his friends today helped embolden him to stick with it once he got there.

Of course, I'm ready to go if we should get the call to come get him.
And it is just a little weird to be here at home, shutting down everthing for the night, and realize he's not tucked up in his bed. I snuck a peek into his room just now to convince myself he's really not here.. how weird.
