First sleepover
Oct 13th, 2008 by Kim
On Saturday my 10 year old daughter went on her first sleepover. About a week ago my husband’s boss and his family moved into the trailer park where we live. My husband’s boss also has a 10 year old daughter as well. When our daughter and their daughter met, the clicked right away. For the entire week they were inseparable. On Saturday the little girl called Kara to see if she wanted to come over to play. Within five minutes of being together the girls decided they needed to have a sleepover. So my daughter told her father to bring certain items back to the house so she could stay overnight.
I really didn’t think she would stay. But, she did and had a wonderful time! She did end up calling seven different times, but she did stay the entire night. They brought her back the next morning and the girls are already talking about when Kara can sleep over again. I’m glad her first night away from home worked out so well for her and I’m also glad that she now has a really good friend that lives closely. I really hope the girls continue to stay good friends and I can see a lot more sleepovers coming up in the future.
Oh how nice. Kids that age thrive when they have a buddy.
That’s so nice they hit it off. Hopefully they will remain good friends. It’s nice having a best friend so close by! Sleepovers are very fun too! I used to love them, most of the time.
That’s a very exciting event! I’m glad it went well for her. Sounds like she’s made a great new friend.
Sleepovers are a great experience for children to have. I never expected my youngest to stay for her first sleepover (she was only 4 years old) but she surprised us and she really enjoyed it. It’s great that your daughter has a new best friend and although it can be really difficult when friendships sometimes falter I try hard to remember that even when this happens it can still be good experience for them.
How wonderful, a best friend that lives close by. There are tons of giggles, shares secrets and popcorn in your (and their) future. Enjoy!
