Sleepover

Sam had his first official, non-family sleepover on Friday night. He had Austin, a friend from church, over and guess what they did? Play Lego Batman, of course. I'm not sure who likes it more, Sam or Stuart, but it was a big hit. Stu managed the three kids on his own while I went to dinner with the girls, and they were all sleeping soundly when I got home about 10. They did really well and had a good time.

We also went to Grant's bday party this weekend. Kate thinks that she is invited to anything Sam is, and don't suggest that she's too young or not one of the friends, because she'll be upset. It was a slip-n-slide party and about 75 outside. I think the kids were freezing most of the time, but they had fun anyway.

Kate's new word for everything is "awesome." As in, "Dad, what are we doing after naps?" "Oh, I don't know, eating dinner?" "Awesome."

Oh, and the other funny Kate moment of the weekend is something she did when I was putting her to bed. She's back on board with the no nail biting, but she found her purple blanket this weekend and has been trying to sneak in a few thumb-sucking moments. That's not nearly as big a deal to me as the nail-biting. But I was putting her to bed and she was holding her blanket and Cinderella Kitty-cat, and she looked at me and said, "Could you leave, Mama?"

I said, "Why? Do you want to suck your thumb?"

She looked side to side and said, "Could you just leave?" Sneaky. Even at age 2.

My Luke has said the same thing to me! When he knows he wants to do something that he's not supposed to he'll ask me to leave the room. It's kind of like I'm in his way of him doing what he wants to do. Amazing.
