Cole has a horse back riding party today that was ending with a sleep over. This was a very nerve racking party for the both of us. We were both nervous about the horse back riding but for very different reasons. I was nervous about safety since I wouldnt be attending the party too and he was nervous about riding the horse backwards. Yes, I just said backwards. When I asked him why he thought that he broke down the words for me, horse -back- riding. Surely that meant backwards right? He sure was releaved and ready to ride when he realized he could face forward! He made sure to tell the instructor though that he wanted to walk and not trot. So once that was over it was back to the house for the sleep over which I was just as nervous for. He hadnt ever stayed somewhere before that was not family and these boys were a little older and like to play tricks on the first kid to fall asleep. Coles mom threatened them not to do anything to Lincoln but I gave him the run down of what happens at sleep overs. All was well when I called to check on him around 9 but come 11 she called to tell me Lincoln was crying in the bathroom. Once it was pj time he was ready to come home. Matt and I went to pick him up and he didnt seem to have a reason he wanted to come home other that to just be with us. It was a bitter sweet moment for me because my little boy felt safer with us but he missed out on the sleep over. He said he wants to try again with just Cole. So we will!
