First Sleepover

This is a big one: Ledger had his first sleepover! Ledger had one of his friends over this weekend to hang out for the day- and the night! He's been asking for a while if he could have a friend stay over for the night and finally we had a weekend that would work. So Diana contacted his friend's parents and asked if he would like to come over for the night. They were good with it and said he was super excited! We've had him over to the house a bunch, coming over after school and the boys playing together, but the possibility of spending the night was very exciting to both of them.

Diana and I discussed how we should have them sleep. We've got an extra guest room with a bed that he could sleep in, but that totally destroys the fun of a sleep over if we separated them! So instead we pulled up the sleeping bag from the basement and the two of them camped out in the living room on the couch. They thought this was perfect, that way they could spend all night together and stay up late watching TV! We made them snacks and played some games, but as it got late, Diana and I shut ourselves in our room so the two boys could have some time chatting and being silly together. They ended up staying up late, but not as late as I would have expected.

In the morning they got up and had a bunch more fun. Finally his parents picked him up in the afternoon, both of them exhausted from all the fun they had!
