Friday night was a new first for the boys...their first playdate without the child's parents staying for a visit. We offered to watch the boys' best friend, Carac for the evening while his parents had a football game to attend (Carac's dad coaches). Lately, we have been spending a lot of time with them, so we figured we were past the "out of school" awkwardness.
When he arrived, my boys got very WILD. I guess they were super-excited to have a friend over or were trying to fight the exhaustion from a long day at school. Brady was especially out of control with tackling and bear hugs. Carac's mom ended up hanging out a little longer than planned to make sure that they were going to be okay. After we separated Brady for a brief timeout in his bedroom, things seemed to go smoothly after that.
The boys had pizza for dinner and then played together for awhile. There were a few more wrestling sessions until they eventually sat down to watch a show. After the show, we let them make the pumpkin and ghost cookies that Carac brought for the evening. The evening ended with Carac and Brady dancing around and rolling around together. Connor at one point yelled "You boys need to calm down". Brady and Carac were sitting on the floor together and I would've swore it was Connor. Carac was doing everything in his power to get Brady's attention or annoy Brady with his kicks and hugs and crawling all over him. Just like Brady does with Connor....he ignored him. It was so funny!
I think the boys passed the test of having a friend over for a visit and Carac reported to his parents that he had fun. We'll have to do it again sometime!
