Big time milestone this weekend for Maile Girl (and sort of Lauren too). Maile had her first friend sleepover! This has been high on the request list for a little while now. At the beginning of the year we decided to use it as a carrot to get Maile to stop waking us up in the middle of the night. It worked like a charm and Maile now stays in her room until at least 6 AM (yes, this is a huge improvement!)
Maile had a good friend from school, Gemma over. I was a little nervous, but they were wonderful. Everyone behaved and got along, Maile and Gemma did a really nice job including Lauren in their playing. They had a little trouble going to sleep, but that’s to be expected and everyone slept through the night. All in all, a success(!) and we’re looking forward to the next sleepover … especially if its at the friend’s house
