It's the moment of peace and quiet that every parent knows, regardless of the age of their child. That baby is home and safe and looks like an angel. They all do when they are asleep, don't they.
We are having a sleep-over tonight. Raine's best friend is finally ready to sleep away from home and his own stuff and his own parents. We hope. It only took us about 2 hours to get the kids settled down enough to fall asleep. Raine would be asleep for the night at this point, but I don't know about Ezekiel. He's in a strange place, in a bed that doesn't feel like his own, and I think he's used to waking up and finding his parents in the middle of the night. So, he may wake up, and then wake Raine up in the middle of the night. Ahhh well, if he does, then he does.
Raine has been sleeping over at Grandma's occasionally since she would sleep in her own bed. And it is definitely a treat when she gets to sleep over at Ezekiel's house. She even visited North Carolina and her grandparents that live there for almost a week on her own this year. Am I the only one that gets almost that same, "now we can do whatever we want" feeling that I used to get when my parents were out of the house over night? Did you ever even conceive that your parents might feel anything like that when you were away? hmmmmm.

Oh man, when Ty went to stay with his grandma, either across town or across the country, it was an amazing feeling of being free! And I felt really guilty about it for the longest time, but then I realized that it was probably healthy. Besides, he'd be gone for over a month when she moved away, and I missed him like the dickens after a couple of weeks.
Come to think of it, sometimes I still do!
But yeah, when they're asleep, wow. They're just perfect!
