Ellie spent the night out at a girlfriend's houses last Saturday for the first time. She's had many sleep overs at family member's houses but never at a girlfriend's house OR most importantly...never without her big brother. While Ellie told him goodbye with care, love, reassurance and LOTS of kisses and hugs...brother wasn't so sure about leaving her. They hugged like this for at least 5 minutes while Ellie kissed Jax on the cheek every 15 seconds or so and told him it would be ok and that she'd see him in the morning. We left, he survived and Ellie had a blast (as you can see). She slept on our couch on Sunday from 12:30-5:30 in her coat and went back to bed at 8. Party girl.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this story! I hope Makoa will have a relationship with his sibling like Ellie and Jax do...I guess I gotta start with getting him a sibling first LOL :)
