Sleepover

Boo was scheduled to have her first sleepover tonight: one block away, with her friend M, whose brother A was to be up in the mountains, visiting his grandparents.
But A pitched a fit. And wouldn't go. Fortunately, the grandparents decided that they would be happy to take M and Boo both --- so Boo is having her first sleepover, not a block away, but an hour and a half drive away, in another state..
A moving moment: she was delighted about the prospect (we, of course, were worried she might freak out, but she didn't:-) and went off wonderfully.
Of course, we're still sitting up expecting the midnight call to come and get her...

Yours, practicing letting go,
N.

Awww...I hope you managed to get some sleep and that Boo didn't need you to go pick her up!

When we were kids, my brother would go and stay with his friend on the next street. Everytime, midnight came and so did the phone call... "AJ wants to go home!". Hehe.
