Last night Emily experienced her First Sleepover. This was a momentous occasion for both of us. I've been putting off allowing her to "do sleepovers" because well, she's my baby and for me the Sleepover is just one more step towards ....complete loss of control, or something. Like I had control to begin with? I can pretend...
It was a little easier for me to say 'yes' to this request because it involved a tent, our next door neighborhood friend, who waters our garden for us, and our neighbor's backyard. We kicked off the evening with our first barbeque of the season and then the girls were anxious to begin their camping experience...
Okay, girls, go to sleep...
Really, it's time to go to sleep...
I still see you...Go.To. Sleeeeeppppp!!!Footnote: I actually don't know if they did go to sleep because they were over in the neighbor's yard. But I sure didn't sleep much. I wound up on the couch by the back door in case she wanted to come home...Nope. I guess I'll call over there to see how they did - and if they stayed out of doors or migrated into my neighbor's house...Could be a cranky day ahead of us...
I remember my first sleepover--or one of the first. I think I was around Em's age...I couldn't sleep, even after everyone else fell asleep--the smells weren't right...my pillow was too flat.../sigh. I hope she had a nice time at her first sleepover!!
