Caleb Sleeps Over!

On Friday night, Caleb slept over at his friend, Anna Riley's house. He was THRILLED! Neely called late that afternoon to ask if he could spend the night. Caleb couldn't believe the invitation, but was disappointed to learn it would only be for one night and that he would NOT be having breakfast, lunch, and dinner there! I asked him to pack a bag with his PJs, toothbrush, glasses case, change of clothes, Puppy, pillow and the big blanket he likes to sleep with. He told me he had packed. When I asked further, he told me that it was all ready to go at the front door. Turns out, he had rolled ALL of his stuff up into his big red blanket. He said it would work as a bag. I'm learning some traits may be genetically male... I mean, really, who packs for a trip by rolling up all his stuff in a blanket, but a guy!

When Neely and Demain arrived, Caleb ran out to the car without even a look back. Cole on the other hand came unglued. He wailed and required one last hug. He got in the back of their van and held tightly to Caleb screaming "I miss you, Caleb. I miss you." He was so, so sad until we found enough M&Ms and Starbursts to overcome his grief.

Caleb had a blast... They went to a high school football game, ate pizza and M&Ms, and stayed up late talking. The next morning, Demian took Caleb and his kids to meet Todd and our kids at Chick-Fil-A for breakfast. Caleb announced that he would be going him with Demian. Guess he had a blast!! Can't believe how old he is...
