Jimmy's First Sleepover at Grandma Bear's

Jimmy had his first sleepover. It was on the Sunday night before Labor Day. My Mom has Monday's off so while we were at Kristin's Sunday night celebrating the Labor Day weekend and Lindsay going through the temple on Saturday Mom asked Jimmy if he could spend the night. Of course he said yes!!! We were very concerned that he wouldn't sleep because he is a sleep in is own bed and no where else kind of kid. We didn't get him over to Mom's until 10:30 at night. It was raining and cold. He actually slept. Wow!!! It took him awhile to wind down. They read books and scriptures and Mom told him a Jimmy animal story and she tucked him in to the hide-a-bed in her living room. She said he got up twice, once to just say hello and another to say his sleeping bag was to hot, so they put TV Bunny (I don't know why he named his stuffed rabbit that, something to do with Hailey I think) and Bearby (his stuffed bear we got from Artic Circle a year ago, the thing kids get attached to) in the sleeping bag and Jimmy slept under the blanket Mom won at the Davis Cup Marching Band competition last year. He did go to sleep after that and was up at his normal 7:00 in the morning. So now we know he can sleep overnight at someone else's house. I wasn't worried about him at all, because he was with My Mom. He actually did start Kindergarten this week and he is loving it. They are doing color days and he has to wear the color of the day and the read a story, sing a song, and have a snack about the color of the day. He loves Miss Paul. I love her too. She is very soft spoken and organized.

Snaps for Grandma! Is this a real sleeping picture or a "pretend". He even stayed downstairs, pretty brave.
