First sleepover

Sidamo's Grandma (Greg's mom) came over this afternoon after nap time to take Sidamo for a play date and give me and Greg some time to rest (Greg has the full-blown crud now too). The plan was to bring him back before bed time, but then she called and suggested they just keep him for the night. I agreed, sort of impulsively, and then realized what a huge step it is for us—it's our first night without him since he came home eight months ago. I know he's having a great time with Grandma, Pappy and Great-Grandma, but it's still such an odd and empty feeling to not have him here. We're very lucky to have such wonderful family to help out when we need it, though. And a good night's rest will be good for all of us. Still, I miss my little man!
