Aidan and Bryce had their first sleepover at Gramma and Grampa's house this weekend! Hurray!
Aunt Patty stayed over too and they both did Great! Aidan is quick to point out that this is not his first sleepover-- he had one at his friend Jake's house during the summer... but this was a HUGE step, especially for little Bryce! Way to go, boys!
Just got back from picking Aidan up from his sleepover.. and it was quite a success!
Apparently the boys all stayed up until about 10:30, laughing and giggling... this after an evening of pizza, cake, and Zathura.. then woke up this morning around 7:30 for Donuts and orange juice (and a hail storm of Nerf darts being fired back and forth across Ms. Brooke's living room)..
And when we arrived and Aidan met us at the door, he was in tears.. but not for having spent the night away from home.. he was upset because we were there to pick him up.
The boy didn't want to go home.
Didn't. Want. To. Go. Home.
As my dad said this morning, the flood-gates have opened.
As for us.. last night, we went and caught the 7:10 Superbad (which was amazing!) while Bryce visited with his aunt. Then we all slept like logs.
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.
