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 …
