Dating

On a weekend night, we decided to watch the newest Spider Man movie at home towards the end of the movie, Spider Man is swinging through the city with MJ clinging onto his neck. During this entire ride, she is understandably screaming. Trace asked; "Why is she screaming?" I replied; "Because it is scary!" Without missing a beat, he said; "Yeah, dating can be scary!" Such a wise little 10 year old.

Sleepover

Well, the day finally arrived. Trace got invited and we decided to let him go on his first "friend sleepover". He was invited for the birthday celebration of one of his closest friends, Reid Williams. Reid is one of several kids in the house, they are LDS and live not too far from us. Trace was super excited and "only a little nervous". He did take tiny bear and green blankie just in case though. I let him take his watch and I simply loved that he sent me sweet messages and heart text emojis all evening long. They watched the newest Jumanji movie with Reid's family at night, had a breakfast of oatmeal in the morning and made it through with no troubles. When I asked him if he had fun, he said he did, that he missed Kevin and I and that he slept in so long in the morning that when he finally did wake, the entire family was gathered around them in the basement living room looking at him and wondering when he was going to wake up. Aww, I love my little night owl!
