The adults chatted while the kids played until about 7 PM. The Singletons needed to get home to put Logan to bed.
Noah really didn't want to go. He hid behind Violet as if it would make it so his parents couldn't see him and buried his face in her long brown hair. "I wanna stay here! Go home without me!"
Jennica and Cameron exchanged a glance and barely managed to hold back their snickers. "Come on, baby. We're going to come back tomorrow."
He dared to peek out, skepticism written all over his little face. "Promise?"
"Promise," Jennica assured him. "The sooner we go home, the sooner we can come back."
That convinced him. He gave Violet and Kaleb big hugs before toddling over to his mother and reaching for her hand even though she was occupied holding the baby.
"Can you hold Daddy's hand? Mommy has the baby."
"Mommy always has the baby," he pouted. "I want Mommy."
