Report on the sleepover

Andrew had his first sleepover at a friend's house last night. They were all really tired from the zoo and running around all afternoon together so we thought they would sleep pretty well. We didn't get any midnight phone calls that he wanted to come home, so I thought that was a pretty good sign. Tory picked Andrew up at 8:30 to get him to his soccer game this morning. Apparently they did not do much sleeping.... Nico wanted the light on, Andrew wanted just a night light, and Lucas touched the light bulb and burned his finger --yikes.

Andrew had his friend Makena here for a sleep over a while back and they slept pretty well -- they chatted, laughed and swapped sleeping places a few times but by 9 they were both asleep. His only other sleepover was with his cousins up in Washington last summer which as far as I recall went pretty well.

I guess we'll eventually figure out what works best... or at least how to make the next day more tolerable with a tired 5-year-old. By Andrew's account he had a great time and wants to sleep at Nico's house next week too. I think it will be our turn next though.
