This is the third or fourth time we've had Erika spend the night. Both Ellie and Erika really look forward to these nights. They generally do very well playing together - usually more like equals these days. Still sometimes Erika tries to be the boss, but as those times become less and less, the girls seem to really enjoy each other's company.I think one on one time with her cousins is the right pace for Ellie these days.
The evening went very smoothly with both girls eating a great dinner, all the girls having a walk to the park, a couple of ice cream sundaes and watching Nemo late into the evening. The girls went to bed very well and didn't spend too much time talking, which was funny, becuase I think it's what Ellie was looking forward to the most - or at least anticipating the most.
The morning was a little more hectic, but not too bad. Overall, it was anice Labor Day treat for the girls and for us. I enjoy having Erika here. She's a big girl with a lot of grown up thoughts and she makes me laugh and smile most of the time.
