Andy picked Laura up from Finbrooke Girl Scout camp today. She said there was more downtime this year than last year, but she still had lots of fun. Laura was definitely happy to have her phone back and also to get to sleep in her own bed. I am super happy to have Laura home! I missed her!
Laura’s return from camp led to this little gem from John. This morning, I told John that he would not get to see Laura after she got back from camp because he is going to a sleepover at a friend’s house. He said, “I don’t care, Mom. She’s kind of annoying.” I told him that was not nice and shook my head. This evening, on the way to his sleepover, we called Andy and Laura, so that John could say good night to his Daddy (and his sister). After we hung up the phone, John said, “I lied this morning, Mom. I really do kind of miss Laura. She’s a cool sister. Just please, please don’t tell her.” I was not sure if my heart should be happy that he thinks she is cool or laugh out loud at the “please, please don’t tell her.” So, I did both!
