Children?

This weekend my 8 year old cousin came down to the city for a sleep over! Let me first start by explaining Cameron. He's a 40 year old in an 8 year old's body. He's insanely smart and hilarious. After hanging out with him for 15 minutes you forget he's 8 years old! He cracks me up. So I picked him up Saturday and we went back to my apartment where my boyfriend met us. I don't think Neil (boyfriend) and I had any idea what we were in for! Immediately Cameron brought out his comic book that he was writing and began to tell us the plot and where he sees the series going (which is very creative and a great idea).
We then moved to the movie Cars 2, which I loved, accompanied by a pre-dinner brownie (that's the role of the "fun" cousin, right?). After dinner we started up a Wii tournament, followed by some Disney channel shows. By 9:00 we were beat (I had Willow House training bright and early that morning, which was a bit draining and Neil had gone out till 3:00 am the night before. Another sign we are not yet remotely close to being ready for children)! However, we wanted to be "cool" so we let him stay up another hour, which actually turned into close to two hours. Neil slept in my room and Cam and I had a sleep over on the couch. All was peaceful at that point.
Then at 6:45am I hear some rumbling and moving around. Cam was up. Let me again state what a great kid he is; he sat there and read and worked on his comic book because he saw I wasn't totally up yet. He's so great! The morning flew by after Dunkin Donuts and Harry Potter. Thanks to my cousins Jim and Syd for letting Cam come down for the night! What a great time!!
Neil and I ended the night by an amazing dinner out followed by splitting a bottle of wine and not saying a word to each other. We learned to appreciate silence again.
