Coming Home ~ A follow up to Letting Go

Well... after his first night away from Mommy, Dylan has returned home--quite reluctantly I might add. He told "Nathan's mommy" that he wanted to stay more. (On a prior occassion she told him that he could call her April. He pondered a moment and then replied, "No thanks, I'll just call you Nathan's mommy.") Obviously touched she explained that he could come again soon, and that he and Nathan would get to play again very soon.

As soon as he came home he ran to give me a big hug; I love how big hugs from Dylan feel, but that feeling was cut short when he went on to explain, "Mommy, I told you I wanted to stay forever and ever." Obviously, my little man had an awesome time at his first ever sleepover.

About 2 hours after he came home, tornado warnings were issued for our city. When the tornado sirens sounded I told the kids "Tornado, bathroom!" They live in SW Arkansas, so they know the drill. We weren't in the bathroom for five minutes before Dylan fell asleep on the floor. Once the storm passed and the tornado warning expired, I picked up my little man and let him crawl into my bed. He's been there for two hours as I write this. Obviously... he had a great time at his first sleep over.
