Last night was the first night Ziggy spent the night away from me. Enil's parents live in Nashville so Ziggy could have spent the night any time before now, but I never found it really necessary. I figured when Enil came back (I have a post in the works explaining why he is not here), we would have Ziggy stay with his parents so we could have a date night. Even though Blissdom is held in Nashville and I could have taken Ziggy to Enil's parent's place during the day and picked him up after the sessions ended, I figured that was a lot of running around.
My first night without Ziggy wasn't awful but it was harder than I expected. I demanded a smoke alarm battery check and a promise that if a bath was given, my mother-in-law would not leave his side. I had a horrific nightmare (though that might have more to do with reading Shutter Island before bed than with Ziggy's absence).
I will definitely be glad to see (and smell and hug and kiss) Ziggy again this evening.

Awwww...Grady didn't have his first sleepover til a couple weeks after his third b-day. He's had a few since. I do fine on the one night aways, but last time he stayed two nights at my mom's house and I was a wreck the second night!
Some people think I'm crazy, but I'm glad I'm not the only one who didn't let my kid sleep somewhere else until toddlerhood.
The first night away is always hardest! It will get easier, I promise! Someday your parents or in-laws will offer to take him overnight and you'll say, "Really?!? See ya, kid!"
The wondering and worrying never goes away completely, though. Sign of what a good Mama you are!
