So Close Sleep Over

I have an awesome friend, Lisa, who invited Brooke to her house to have a sleep over with her two little girls. Brooke stays the night with her grandparents all the time but this would be her very first sleep over with friends. She was extremely excited and talked about it non-stop for a week. Lisa's girls were equally excited and even spent a whole day making Brooke presents to give her when she came over. So the day finally came and we drove over to their house and Brooke was all but eager for me to leave so she could start her day. She spent the whole day over there...she was there so long that I actually started to miss her :-) Lisa took them to the duck park and let them feed the ducks, they got to go to McDonald's and play....they played dress up....put on a dance show...made a tent...rode bikes outside in the neighborhood...ate pizza...ice cream...cookies and popcorn...they watched a movie and took a shower...got their pj's on brushed their teeth....then Brooke called me to tell me goodnight. Five minutes after I hung up she called back and wanted to come home. I remember when I was young and had sleep overs and you get that feeling in the bottom of your stomach...that can only come with bedtime....and you just can't help but want to come home. So at 9:30 at night I drove to get my little girl...we got in the car and before we were even out of Lisa's subdivision Brooke was passed out cold in the back seat. Even though she didn't make it the whole night...she had an absolute blast and I am very thankful to Lisa for having her over! I know one day she will be able to stay the night away but for now I will just enjoy the fact that my little baby wants to be with her mommy!!
