With trepidation, we decided to allow Atticus to go on his first sleepover. His friend, Edward, invited him for a sleepover after school on Friday. While Greg and I were totally nervous that it would be a disaster - the fears were unfounded! Yay! All went smashingly well. Granted, we know the parents fairly well -- and it's only down the street, but still!!!
After school, we came home and packed up his new backpack with everything he might need including Beetle and his little pillow. We headed over to Edward's house and dropped him off... there were no tears, no long hugs - just a see you later Mummy. I mean, geez -- he's not even 7!
This was a bit of a trial to see if we could go away for a weekend too and leave the kids with friends. Apparently, Atticus did fiiiiiiine. Not sure we're ready to try leaving Wren with someone else just yet!
Not that we're going away and leaving the kids with friends... but I suppose now it's possible. Who knows where we'll end up living in the future. Without family close by, we may need to rely on a sleepover of two in the future.
I guess the next step is to invite a friend over here!!
