Separation anxiety

Nathaniel has been out of town since last Sunday enjoying his first sleep-away camp experience. He's at Boy Scout camp, and apparently he's having a blast. I've been missing him like crazy, and apparently someone passed that message along to him, because I got this text from him yesterday:

I'm not the only one who misses him. Even Nick has admitted it. And Amelia asked to climb in bed with Jake last night for some "snugguh time." Could I say no? NO I COULD NOT.

Even though it was almost 9:00, I couldn't deny her the chance to climb up in Jake's bed and hang out with him and Nick in their room for a little while.

All three of them BEGGED me to let her sleep in there, but that I would not do.

I know. I'm such a meanie.

But I did let her stay in there for more than half an hour.

IT WAS PRACTICALLY A SLEEPOVER.

Nathaniel gets home on Saturday, and I can't wait to see how this crew welcomes him back into the fold.

I have a feeling that all four of them might end up in one bed for some period of time that night.

If they do, I'll be sure to take some grainy cell-phone pictures for you.
