Then I went with his class to the Arboretum, and Annie came running up to me asking when she could come over to our house. I talked to her mom, who was also chaperoning that day, and said we should set something up.
Next thing I know, Charlie came home and told us he was going to Annie's cabin for a sleep over. He told us that Annie asked him to come to his cabin over spring break. According to Charlie, when Annie asked him to come to her cabin, he asked her what exactly this whole "cabin" thing was about (in his version he uses air quotes for emphasis).
I called his mom and invited Annie over. She and I laughed at their little friendship. Apparently, Annie told her mom and dad that when Charlie spends the night at their cabin, they'll sleep in separate bunk beds until she gets scared. Then she'll have to climb into bed with Charlie.
When Annie came home with us after school, she was very sweet. Talkative, cute, energetic - a very nice little girl. Charlie and she walked around the backyard, talking and trying to figure out what to play. When Matt got home they were racing down the alley, Charlie being pushed on Clare's trike by Annie. Both Annie's mom and dad called during the playdate, just to see how it was going. They were very nice and loved hearing how much fun the kids were having playing together.
After they came inside, all they wanted to do was wrestle. I wasn't sure if that was totally fine or a little weird, but I let them wrestle anyway. I just stayed downstairs with them just to make sure Annie did get hurt.
When Annie's dad came to get her, she didn't want to go. I told her dad she should be exhausted after all the wrestling they did. Later that night, Charlie told Matt that he had a great day. He said, "I love today. And I love Annie."
And I love Charlie...
