hey all!! not much going on here. busy working !!
my dd (7) went on her first nonfamily sleepover sat night. she always wants to go with her brother (9). well, i;m really paranoid about letting her stay anywhere bc of the autism. i mean , she communicates well, but i'm just not sure if she would know to tell me if something happened while she was there, kwim? it makes me very nervous.
well, one of my ds(9) friends stayed over friday night. i have known his mom for 2 years. we were room mothers together 2 yrs ago. i completely trust her. i've talked about her here before, she is the one from miami, 100% cuban girl. soo much fun and a great person. well, she has 3 daughters 12, 11, and 3yrs. she came to get her ds from my house and asked my son to spend the night. then she told us that regan could stay too!! well, R was soooo excited, she went into her room , packed her bag, got her baby doll and was ready to go.
i was completely okay with it , not nervous at all like i thought i would be. i think it's just bc i trust this woman so much. my dh was a little nervous, just thinking it would be hard on our friend , since R is autistic, but she was okay with it. and , my ds (9) was so sweet. he said, it's okay dad, i'll be with her, i'll help watch her. wasn;t that the sweetest thing. he could have been mad, not wanting his little sis to tag along. i was so proud of him.
she did fine there, had a blast. she's already asking to stay again!!
just had to share. it's so cool when she can do "normal " things. it makes me feel good
sorry , that was long. but, just had to share.
