Hey Friend

Yesterday a friend of mine on Facebook posted that she and her husband weren't going to be able to go to U2 because of a sick child ... I volunteered us to babysit ... now we have never met in person but back in the Rock-n-Tot days she totally helped me out so I figured if she was up for it I am sure Skye would love having a friend over ...

They took us up on our offer and Ian came over to play ... and play they did ... they both had such a blast ... riding scooters in the kitchen ... watching Cars ... making each other food in the play kitchen ... having their own Rock Band concert ... snuggling in bed to watch Sprout ... everything is more fun with a friend over ...

Skye did struggle a bit with his name ... and would just call him friend ... "Hey friend wanna come see my room?" ... "Friend wanna watch Sprout with me." ... it was so adorable ...

As they snuggled in bed to watch Cars I heard David say, "Well I was trying to avoid this for another 18 years but oh well." ...

Eventually they fell asleep and Ian's mommy came and got him ... unfortunately Skye didn't quite realize that he would be gone in the morning ... and when she awoke she came to the top of the stairs in tears asking where Ian was ... she kept saying over and over again, "I didn't get to say good-bye to my friend Ian." ... It was so sweet ... she ran to her room and threw herself on the bed in tears ... I told her we would invite Ian over any time she wanted and that he knew she had wanted to say good-bye ...

She dried her tears and told me she had had a lot of fun and she couldn't wait to play with Ian again ...
