Sleepovers!

Analese finally got her introduction into the new and wonderful world of sleeping over (and having someone sleep over). First she was able to sleep over at her buddy Tee-ta's house on Saturday night. It all went very well. She had a wonderful time, and when I asked her if she missed me, her response was, "I did NOT miss you, mommy. I was just fine!" AGHHH Dagger in my heart! The very next night, Tee-ta came to OUR house to sleep over. Analese was so excited about having Tee-ta there that she was keeping poor Tee-ta awake until the wee hours of the morning. I decided not to be the strict party pooper mom and I was going to let them talk and play in her room until they finally got sleepy. Well at 12:30 in the a.m., two little four year old girls came marching into our bedroom announcing that they were unable to get the door back on the Barbie carriage. I got up and took them back to her room and gently told them that it was time to get into bed - quiet time, that is. They cooperated, and Tee-ta really looked quite relieved as I was tucking her in next to Analese. I sat there beside their bed for a few moments. It took Tee-ta less than 60 seconds to fall into a deep sleep. Analese followed suit when she realized that her play buddy had trotted off to dreamland. Anyway, both sleepovers were a success, and we will do it again for sure!
