oh that first night is so hard for us Mums (and Dads) Even now I miss my eldest if he goes for a sleepover.. Last year I went to check on the kids before bed and when I went to his bed and it was empty I cried myself to sleep :blush:

They enjoy themselves though and its a nice break for us if we take good advantage of it, take nice long bath.. stay up late and then sleep in.. Do something you wouldn't normally do

Tomorrow morning will be here soon enough

[mbear]

oh hon...your post almost had me in tears....

The first of many milestones......you wait till he starts school .....

To be honest Amber, it doesn't get any better (for me anyway, but I am such a sook). I cried when I put L into his new daycare, cried when I pulled him out of his old one, even when the ILs took him for the weekend I had a little tear when I saw him go off in their car. Its just being a mum. We love our babies that much.

I think it is good for him to stay with other people (not to mention you and DH to get some couple time). As long as he is happy that's the main thing.

Grandma's house is the easy one, wait till he starts wanting to sleep over at friends houses !!

My boys LOVE sleepovers. They get spoiled rotten, and new toys to play with, new people to shower attention on them.

Try not to worry (you can always call Nan to see how things are going). Think of all the fun stuff you can do, grab takeaway and not have to share, have a long bath with your mummy ears turned off, sleep-in in the morning...enjoy your time!

[Janie]

What Nelle said! He will have a ball, so try to enjoy yourself . And ring to check on him at least a couple of times

[Isadora]

Aww boomba been there done that. Its so hard!!! He will be so well looked after with nanna, dont let it worry you. Enjoy your night out!

Don't worry, we love having our GS for the night.
We are having a break at the moment as I have a DH who need my full attention as he is on crutches. That said I had them yesterday and we had a great time.
Wait until their first day of school. That was the hardest day for me even though I still had one at home.
Enjoy your time out and your sleep in.
