And of course, she is so laid-back and raised five sons and a daughter - don't know why that didn't cross my mind earlier when I was worried about his behavior. She's probably seen it all. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for talking me through it - I really was fretting. Goofy, huh?<BR/><BR/>I realized today that I have it so much in my head to avoid being one of those parents who absolutely cannot see nor admit that THEIR child would ever do anything naughty that I go overboard the other direction, and brace myself for all kinds of miscreant behavior when I really need to give my boy the benefit of the doubt and not freak out until he actually does something out of line. That's the moral of this story. :)<BR/><BR/>And it is nice to know "the little secret" of kids' behavior...Code Yellow Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16283426654179102400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27155002.post-1151111060198158582006-06-24T05:04:00.000+04:002006-06-24T05:04:00.000+04:00I bet he'll come home like a little shining star. ...I bet he'll come home like a little shining star.

As far as the invitation, accept the offer graciously. Think about what your life will be like when your boys are all grown up? I'll bet you will gladly entertain an energetic preschooler for a few hours. My own neighbor has two high school boys and we were chatting in her yard, and 2yo Kyle kept spotting the ripe strawberries growing and eating them! After the first two, I tried to hold him back, but she was delighted that he was enjoying them.

I really hate letting my kids go with other people - partly because I think I'm the only one who can care for my kids (especially in the car, yikes) and partly because I worry about the trouble they'll cause (my kids, not their caregivers :) However, my kids - and probably kids in general - tend to be great for other people and only behave like slightly-demonic-little-angels when they're with their parents.

He'll probably remind them of their manners or say something sickeningly sweet and charming and they won't want to return him. If the woman has had children, yours will not be any surprise to her, no matter what he does.
