So the other night Xavier spent the night at my parents house alone for the first time. It was a spur of the moment thing as my mom saw I was really tired and Walter was out of town all week for work. She wore me down over the course of the afternoon with her offers to keep him for the night :)
For the record I had no doubts that he would be perfectly fine and have a great time. Xavier was not at all upset that I was leaving him at grandmas. He was quick to tell me "you can go mom - and take Wes!" It's just that he's still my baby and it's really hard for me to let other people be responsible for my kids.
I have to admit, I did enjoy sitting in the peace and quiet catching up on some blogs and watching a little tv that evening. Wes was super easy to put to bed - early too! I think Wes enjoyed having mommy to himself (and all the toys!) for a bit as well.
The next morning when I arrived to pick Xavier up he was playing with binoculars and trucks. He had watched a show about fixing up old cars with grandpa, slept until 8am (why doesn't he do that at home??) and enjoyed eggs and toast with grandma for breakfast. In fact, he didn't really want to leave.
Guess his first sleepover was a success! I'm not quite ready to do it with Wes, but this was a good start :)
