My Social Son

Last night we had all of Patrick's (30+, number, not age) Hintenmeyer students over. They arrived at 7:00 for an evening of food, drinks, games, and general socializing. It was a lot of work, and a lot of fun. But, I think the individual who enjoyed it more than anyone else was Sebastian.
When the first few students arrived Sebastian informed them that: "We have lots of stuff for you" (meaning food and drinks). He then took them outside to give a tour of the yard and point out such interesting attractions as "the herb garden". Next Sebastian informed Patrick that he wanted "LOTS more students to come."
When the next car load arrived, he ran out to tell them that, "we have beer and water for you" (these were the items listed in his mind as he had just helped Patrick put the beer and wine in a cooler with ice). All this to say, Sebastian excitedly greeted each new arrival and ran around enjoying their presence. He had informed me earlier in the day that he wanted "someone to play with" and I am happy to say that he got thirty someones. As he had taken a three hour nap earlier in the day, we let him stay up and enjoy the students. He played hide and seek in the yard with some of the guys, got books read to him (a lot of books), played monster and chase with a few more students, and in general, had a wonderful time.
As I was putting the food out and Patrick was pouring people drinks, Sebastian was in the living room entertaining everyone. He is extremely social and representing the family well. It is nice that I don't have to worry about talking to everyone, as I know Sebastian will. =)
