Cian and his friend Henri have been asking to have a sleepover for months. Henri's mom and I finally figured out that this weekend would work and that we would take Henri Friday night, that way the boys would have two nights to recover before going back to school.
Henri came over at 4:30 pm with his little Cars suitcase in tow and the boys escaped to the basement without any formals greetings or goodbyes. They played for hours with trains and video games and semi-watched Big Hero 6 amongst 6 year old boy ideas of goofiness and rambunctious play. We had pizza and birthday cake (for Keith) and around 8:30 pm we started the bedtime process.
Emily was sad that she wasn't having a sleepover ("I didn't pack any of my stuff !!" she said) so we decided she would have a sleepover with Mom. So Emily, Mooma bear, unicorn and bee all spent the night with mommy in the big bed.
It only took a few times coming into the boys room to tell them to go to sleep before they finally succumbed to exhaustion. I thought that part of the sleepover would be worse so that was a welcome surprise.
Despite falling asleep shortly before 10 the boys were up at 640. (The little diva slept til 1030am) The morning was full of Lego Batman and breakfast and lots of squeals and laughter. Dr. Leslea came over around lunchtime to pick up Henri and both of them were upset about the ending of their fun. What a wonderful thing for both of them: little boy friendship. :)
