So, Bug had his very first sleepover...at R's house. R's Mom picked him up from another party we were at and off they went. It was so SAD!!! H was laughing and making fun of me, "Are you going to be alright Mom?" It was like watching him go off to college for goodness sake. He's NEVER slept without me nearby. I know, I know...but still. It was really hard.
When I got home, I bathed, dressed and tucked in the twins and when I left their room I walked into Bug's room like I always do and stopped...his bed was empty and his B was GONE!!! OMG...I just about cried.
I called him at 8 to see how it was going - his normal bedtime is 7:30 so I was hoping he was on his way to lights out...NOPE, they were going to watch a movie. Uh, it's 8 and he needs 11 hours to function - this is what I'm thinking. "Well, I miss you." Bug's response "Yep, can I go now?" I retort "I LOVE YOU, I MISS YOU." "I'll see you tomorrow." Click and dial tone...UHG. I tell Daddy that he's fine and we go to bed too.
So, this morning at 10:15 he returned. I was so THRILLED! I wanted to hear all about his big night away from home. Unfortuantly, what was returned to me was a little boy who had less than 4 hours of sleep and was a mess - I got 1 word answers and "I'm going to my room to unpack my stuff and play my new DS game that R's Mom bought me." It was like a 16 year old was talking to me. I asked him to take a shower while he was up there and the tears started flowin'.
I left to go shopping with H for a few hours and evidentally, while I was away, Bug took a nap on the couch...
Oh yeah, he's still my little Bug.
H is growing up so fast and we're so proud of her! She's breezing through Senior year, she's applied to FLCC for a theraputic massage degree, she's looking for a job and she passed her driver's test with flying colors on the Dec 30th. So, Aunt T - now she can drive to your house to babysit and drive home the next day (she can't drive past 9 until she's 18).
