M is at her first away from home sleepover tonight. Now, she’s slept at Nanny and Poppy’s, and at Nana’s (where she kicked Grandpa Ken out of bed and took his spot!), and at Poppy and Debbie’s. But never at a friend’s house.

Tonight is the night.

Remember a couple of weeks ago we had P & C here for a few nights? Well, the girls got the bug and have been asking to do it again ever since. We called P today but she wanted to stay home and have M over there. Two seconds later the bags were packed, the toys collected, and I was being dragged out the door.

Both girls asked, “How many sleeps can she stay?” I don’t think they were happy with the answer of, “Only one!”

I dropped off one very excited girl to another very excited girl and they disappeared – no goodbye, no kiss, no nothing!

I don’t think we’ll be getting a phone call to go pick her up anytime soon!

Have fun, M, but stop growing up already!

Mama
