Ryan is currently on his eagerly awaited sleepover. Of course, it’s going on midnight, and my mom left with him shortly after 8:30pm, and I had already given him his nightly dose of liquid Melatonin, so I’d like to think that he is long asleep by now. My mom said she’ll just have him sleep with her, since she has a queen-sized bed and the last time he spent any amount of time sleeping in either of my brothers’ bedrooms is when he was two days old, and he slept with me. Besides, that was a long time ago, back in the days when I was still unwrapping baby gifts for him.
He was SO excited to go tonight. He danced and flitted around impatiently while I packed his bags, gave me only the most cursory of hugs and kisses goodbye, and pulled my mom’s car door shut himself, instead of waiting for me to do it.
I can only hope that all goes well, and as he gets older and improves on certain behaviors my mom will be more willing to take him overnight. As it stands, she had him overnight exactly once, and that was back in March. Meanwhile, Alyssa has gone on sleepovers at my mom’s house for days or a week or more at a time! It’s time to close the gap between them, you know? Besides, nothing is worse than Ryan crying and expressing upset over not being able to go on sleepovers, while Alyssa skips off merrily on hers.
