We had dinner over at Nana's house and afterwards Asher got really excited about the idea of spending the night sleeping with Nana and Colonel.
I had returned home early to put Kiera to bed when Deenesh returned to inform me of the plan and to pick up Asher's stuff (Pillow, Blankie, Gobi, Teddy, and Bear*).
Deenesh dropped off the stuff and quickly returned (after taking the obligatory sentimental photo I demanded - see above) and quickly brushed aside my lamenting of our little boy growing up so quickly and his first night away from us with promises of a peaceful evening. We could watch whatever Hulu or Netflix had to offer and not have to engage in any bedtime tantrums!
I began to see the possibilities and we started exploring our options. A full magical night lay before us.
We were nearing a decision when we heard voices at the door.
I'm not entirely clear how much of it was "homesickness" versus being booted due to his inability to keep his mouth shut or stay put in a bed, but either way, the dream didn't last long.
That's okay, maybe I'm not ready for him to grow up that fast anyway. *sniff*
*Capitalization is appropriate because they are all proper nouns.
