Friday night I had the pleasure of taking Giovanni to our stake's mother-daughter overnighter. That's right. He wasn't the only boy - there was a baby boy, too. He was so excited to "go camping in a tent" that as soon as Ryan had it all set up (he came just to set up for us), Gio climbed right in and told me, "Mommy, I tired. I go sleep in a tent." I didn't let him. There were games that night that Gio was too young to participate in but it didn't stop him from hanging out on the stage anyway. His favorite was the hula hoops. He tried pretty hard to
make it work. He said, "Mommy, I wanna shake!" Too funny. At the campfire, he climbed right on my lap and cuddled in my arms. He fell asleep by 9:37 (I asked Cathy & Jessica what time it was)! He slept all the way in to 7:05. :) I figure this means I won 'cause when Ryan took Gio to the father-son overnighter he didn't fall asleep 'til almost midnight and woke up at 5:30 a.m.! ha ha. The priesthood, including the stake president and his 2nd counselor, cooked & served us breakfast in the morning that was delicious. There were more games after that but Gio was more interested climbing on the rocks in the campground. Overall, we both had a great time. Gio
vanni was so worn out he fell asleep on the ride home, only 4 1/2 hours after he woke up! It's moments like these that I realize how blessed I am to be Giovanni's mommy. I never thought I'd space my kids 3 1/2 years apart, but I'm actually very grateful that we did. I have had the last 3 1/2 years with Gio all to myself. When this next child is born, I expect that I will be sleep deprived an
d my patience tried, but I also know that I will love him instantly. I have no idea what to expect when it comes to sharing my attention with Giovanni. His feelings have actually been my number one concern since learning I was pregnant. He is such a mommy's boy and I wouldn't have it any other way.
