Rachel had her first slumber party and boy was I nervous, isn’t 6 too young? I know that I went to slumber parties at that age but this is my little girl we are talking about. I was worried about everything. One of her friends from school and soccer had a sleepover for her birthday party and Rachel was excited from the moment she got the invitation. I know the mom fairly well and trusted her to keep a constant eye on them and to actually make sure they went to bed. She sent her other kids away to grandma’s house so the only kids in the house were the party guests and she slept down stairs with the girls.
Rachel just had a blast and did very well. She had a hard time falling asleep but other than that did great. They played games, painted fingernails and even did sleeping bag races down the stairs. I was a little worried that she might be a monster the next day but she willingly took a nap that afternoon and was pleasant the entire weekend. I guess I don’t have a good excuse to not let her do sleep overs, well except for the fact that they make ME nervous. I guess moms have to let go sometimes, but I hope she doesn’t have another one any time soon. I wish I had some pictures but since I wasn’t there I don’t, oh well! I am glad Rachel had such a good time!
