Big Kid

is spending the night at Em's tonight.

He needed a little bit of unconditional Em love...I think Vivi has moved on.

The other day we were talking about how he behaves at school when he doesn't get his way and he said, "Like when my Vivi dest wants to pway wif Reese instead of me? I dest do sumtin' else instead. By myself." Hmmm, that seemed sad but strange.

Then on Sunday he said "I can't wait to go to school tomowwow and see my Vivi. But sometimes see doesn't want to pway wif me because I dest wuv her too much. She says sometimes I dest wuv her too much, and den I go pway all by myself."

Wow. How sad.

I suspect he's a bossy little punk these days, because we made the mistake of teaching him to assert himself with little kid.

I also know he has no shortage of friends, so if he's playing alone, it's because his bizarre insistence that "ponies are for gulls" or people are "dest doin' it wrong".

So, he's off for a little Em time, complete with unconditional love and friendship.

He happily ran into their house and made a beeline for their movie cabinet, so he could check out which Baby Einsteins movies she has (I know, he's a total freakazoid.) It's his first real overnight, and he wasn't even sad to see me go. Actually, he seemed annoyed that I stayed for as long as I did.

So wish Em's mom (LK, who needs a new name since so many of you confuse this with little kid) luck...she's going to need it.
