Forever

Saturday evening we visited with The Shortts-aka Chelsey's family. Declan and Chelsey had a great evening running around, playing in rooms they were not supposed to and just being the best of friends. When it was finally bedtime they of course requested they have a proper sleepover and both sleep in Chelsey's room. Under the threat of separating them if they got out of bed even once we granted their wishes. Sneaky little muffins, they stayed awake for another hour just playing super quietly and staying in bed. When they finally crashed we checked in on the little cuties and found they were sleeping side by side. Just the cutest friends.

This morning Daddy was helping Declan get changed out of his pjs and into clean clothes for the day. Declan was super happy and was doing little dances while getting dressed. When he took his underwear down to his feet he then kicked the underwear up into the air and it landed - no exaggeration - right on Daddy's face. It hung there for a moment. Declan asked "Are you laughing even a little?" Daddy pulled the underwear from his face and busted a gut laughing. Declan joined in. Boys will be boys.

It's different with Mommies.

This evening after reading Declan "The Grinch Who Stole Christmas", saying our goodnights and hugs and kisses, Declan asks if I can let Daddy walk out of his room first. Then he asks that I pull the door but not all the way because it's dark. As we leave Declan then says "Mommy" (first just to draw my attention and then) "I will love you forever." Guess he had a good weekend.
