Weekend with Friends

We spent the weekend in Dallas with good friends that we have not spent much time with since Collin was born. The main reason for going up there was to surprise one of Chris's best friends, Tom, for his 40th birthday party. After being in the car for over 4 hours, Collin did great at the birthday dinner. He entertained himself and was social with everyone that stopped by to say "hi" to him. I was impressed at how good he was for such a long day. He continued to asked to go to the potty even though we were somewhere he had never been before.

After the party, we went to Tom's house which is where we were spending the night. He has two kids, Madison and Justin, that were still awake. Collin was not interested in sleeping once he saw them. Finally, after midnight, he passed out after Madison and I both read him some books.

For the rest of the weekend, Collin latched onto Madison and was her shadow all weekend. Instead of him insisting that I do everything for him, he wanted Madison. She was allowed to read him books before bed, get him a drink and hold his hand when we got out of the car while we were running errands. He even wanted to eat what she was eating when we stopped for lunch.

We had a great time and home that it's not almost 2 years before we do that again.
