Slumber Party

Mo has wanted to have a sleepover with the twins from daycare for a while now. Keep in mind, the twins are 5, and have been on sleepovers before. They had been talking about it, and Mo totally bought into the idea of sleeping at their house. For about 2 weeks, when I would arrive at daycare, all 3 girls break out in choruses of "Please, can we have a sleep over, please, please, please."

So, we gave in......for several reasons......first, Mo really wanted to do it. We talked it over, she knew what a sleepover was (you have dinner, then you sleep, then you have breakfast). Plus, she was so excited....it was all she talked about for 2 weeks. But the real reason......I wanted to sleep in so bad on a weekend morning, it wasn't even funny!

So, we took her over on Saturday night. She packed her bag, and ran into the house, and started playing right away. We said our good-byes....and left. We had a wonderful dinner, and went to see Avitar. So far, so good.

We were about 30 minutes away from finishing the movie....when we got the first text....."Simone misses you, and can't sleep." .......followed by "She wants to come home." So, just as the final battle scene was starting, we left the movie theater to pick up our homesick little girl. She wasn't crying or anything, she just couldn't sleep in someone else's house. She wanted her Mama and Mema.

On the way home, Mo said "Playdates are so much better than sleepovers."
