The girl was busting at the seams with excitement and energy when I spoke with her via FaceTime around 9:15 PM last night. She was having a blast and wanted to stay. She was in her pajamas and her bed was set up. She had chocolate on the side of her cheek and she had things to tell me a mile a minute. But she didn’t wanna hug and kiss or anything like that, she wanted to get back to her friends. I was so happy that she was having such a great time.
So fast forward 12 hours and I head over to pick her up around 10 AM this morning. When we get there, and told the girls have a place to perform for us before we leave. We all go upstairs and watch them perform this hour lemonade play. It was very cute. I love the energy and innocence of the play. It was well coordinated and they honestly did a great job.
Noteworthy, when I got there, Clair was not interested in running to give me a hug or anything like that. I did get a slight smile, but other than that, she was interested in finishing what she started.
After the play was over, the moms began to help the girls pack everything up. We had a lot to collect for Clair but we did, and we had at home. She was very happy. I just waited for the crash.
She had some raspberries and toast, and then we sat through church together. She rested on me the whole time. I thought she might fall asleep and even told her it was OK if she did. She said that she needed to stay awake for church. I did suggest later that she had a nap, but she was determined to make it through the day without a nap.
We had a nice afternoon and played some games. She did get an early shower, and I’m waiting for her to be ready to fall asleep at any point in time now. But she has hung in there, and I am so glad she had such a great first sleepover.
