Sleepovers

Saturday Declan had his theater class and then after coming home for lunch we headed off to spend the rest of the day with Chelsey. Two hours at an indoor Playland, some dinner, played at Chelseys with all her toys, then bedtime, they slept in until 7:30am before getting up for another few hours of playing and some breakfast. Declan didn't want to ever leave and there were tears. When I asked "What was your favourite part of the weekend?" He replied "Sleeping with Chelsey". They're going to be sad when they get too old for same room sleepovers.

Muffin Man got up out of bed last night with a Mousey Emergency - the gingerbread he holds between his hands had come off. Declan needed me to sew it back on right away. This made me think how I have had numerous staff that can't even sew a button back on a sweater. What will they do when their little Prince or Princess gets up in the night and has a Stuffed Animal Emergency?

For the last two weeks Declan keeps saying that he's going to ask the Genie for his three wishes. He won't tell me what it is he wants to wish for (apparently you're not supposed to). The other day he asked me to bring him to a store so he could buy a lamp so he could get his genie. Last night he heard Daddy and I talking about it being Monday and that I would be back at  work today after being off for nearly a week. Declan joined in "I wish you could always be home." I let him know that would be great. He very excitedly then told me "That's what I wanted to ask the genie for!"

I am now keeping my eyes open for that lamp.
