FIRST SLEEPOVER
Friday afternoon we received an invitation for the boys to sleepover at the Casper home (AJ's friend and classmate). We have gotten to know the family very well over the last year and half. The son, AJ's classmate actually slept over our house when the parents were in a schedule bind. This time BOTH my babies were away from home!
I wasn't worried as to whether or not they were safe. I was more worried that my boys would fight with each other, pee on the toilet (cuz they forgot to lift the seat), not flush, or just be defiant when it was time to stop playing and eat, brush teeth, or even sleep. The last sleepover the boys were still up and talking at 2am!!
I went home and had an empty nest. Damoomoo had a gig in Sac and there I was left to deal my congestion, my roll of toilet paper (used it to blow my nose all night), and 2 tbl of NYQUIL. I was knocked out that I forgot to turn on the alarm to wake us up in preparation for "Coach 'momoo's" first baseball game! He was scheduled to meet the team at the school at 9am. We woke up at 8:50!! One player was sick, so they forfeit the game, but still allowed the teams to scrimage. Need a lot more practice, but not bad for a team made up of mostly 6th graders, and it's the first team the school has had in 3 or 5 years!
Anyways, the sleepover went smoothly and I received good reports from Mrs. Casper. In fact she mentioned how good Mio was. The first to come to the table, the first in line to brush his teeth, and even the first to offer her a kiss goodnight! I am thankful more and more that we have raised our boys to not be overly inverted where they are not able to enjoy time away from us. Heck we have left them enough with countless relatives during our trips! But that just makes it so much less stressful.
Now I have to find a nice reward for their good behavior --- no not the Nintendo DS, yet! Which reminds me... we might be buying a DOG!!! yeah, me and pets have never gotten along so well, so this will be an adventure. So far all the names have been food--- milkshake, french fry, carne asada, quesadilla.... any other suggestions?
