Hadley's First Sleepover
This weekend was full of the the regular Thanksgiving craziness. It started with us having lunch with my mom on Saturday, dinner with my dad on Saturday night, and then dinner with Brian's mom on Sunday. This is where Hadley decided that she wanted to have her first sleep over ever - at Brian's mom's house. Julie was also staying the night and so we decided that it was a good opportunity since we could pick her up the next day. Hadley appeared confident in her decision and we knew she was in good hands. Brian, Easton and I headed to Strathroy that night to stay over at Brian's uncle Jeff's house as we wanted to talk with him about electrical stuff for the new house and then there was a gathering at Tom and Cathy's house for a relative from Holland that was there celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary. This is also where we spent time with Brian's dad for Thanksgiving. After the party we would pick Hadley up at Julie's house in Kitchener on our way back to Ajax. Hadley had a great time. With stories of the park, watching Mary Poppins, video games, reading and McDonalds dinner.
The day before Brian taught checkers to Hadley and apparently while she was there she beat Julie at a game. Cool!
I am proud of her.
I truly know what it is like to have your heart out of your body walking around. You want to protect it but you also want it to have experiences. When we were leaving she went to put on her shoes and then I asked her if she still wanted to sleep over? If so, you don't need shoes. Then she said oh ya, I forgot.
I think we were both ready for her first sleepover. However, I missed her like crazy but I miss her when she is at school too.
Easton missed Hadley a lot too. When we were saying goodbye he gave her a hug, and then when we were in the van he asked where she was. Then often he would ask for her. When we finally said we going to pick her up he was quite excited. However he fell asleep on the way there.
I was glad to hug and kiss my little girl!
