Sleepovers

Well Sydney went to her first "sleepover" last night. Uncle Robb & Aunt Michele watched Sydney for us while we went out for dinner & to a friend's Stag & Doe. Since it was going to be a "late" night (I use that term loosely since the definition is now much different than it was a few years ago) they kept Sydney overnight. Although Sydney has stayed overnight at Grandma & Grandpa's many times, this in my mind was her first "sleepover". To me part of the definition of a sleepover includes kids talking long into the night when they should be sleeping. Well, apparently Max & Sydney fit this requirement. When the kids went to bed last night they were chirpping at one another through the walls for quite awhile before they went to sleep. Definitely fits within the "sleepover" definition, don't you think? I think both Sydney & Max survived it, but Max seemed a lot more excited when we came to pick her up this morning than he was yesterday when he awoke from his nap to find her there. See how happy he is now that he knows we are going home?
Although Sydney looked like a walking zombie this morning, we went to a play date at a friend's. Sydney fell asleep in the car on the way there & since she was snoring, I figured I better let her catch a few zzz's. The good thing about a sunroof is that you can sit inside & see her sleeping in the back, so that as soon as those pretty little eyes opened...back outside I went to get her.
Glad I stayed & waited for her to wake up, her and Evelyn had a nice play together. Although it was maybe a good thing that Sydney's words still are not very clear, or Evelyn would have had her first exposure to the "MINE!" demand. Tara and John are lucky that they are not dealing with that one yet!
