Emma's First Sleepover

March 20-21, 2010

The girls watching a movie on Sunday

Apparently Emilka had so much fun at Emma's Birthday that she wanted to come visit Emma again. So since we had a late evening Birthday event for a friend, Adam's parents came to baby-sit Emma and brought Emilka with them. The girls had a blast playing outside on the neighbor's swing set, running up the hill and rolling back (eventually that ended with a few tears), riding bikes, playing ball, and blowing bubbles to name a few things.

Inside they searched for the cats, played hide-n-seek, played kitchen, and watched a movie "Cloudy with a change of Meatballs". We blew up the camping matresses, put a large comforter and pillows on the floor so the girls could sleep together camping style. They both loved it. Emilka fell asleep quick, while Emma took way over an hour to fall asleep. I guess she couldn't quite find her place but refused to go to her bed since she wanted to sleep with Emilka. The next day we went to church, had breakfast, the girls had more fun outside, and we ate dinner and left. Emilka went home and we went to see an uncle of Adam's about doing a small concrete patio. It turned out he forgot a party he was supposed to go to so he didn't come over. Instead we went to see Emilka at her house. It took a while for the girls to get going playing but by the end we couldn't separate them and ended up leaving really late. We didn't get home until almost 10 PM and Emma did not fall asleep in the car although she did on the way over there. Needless to say I had a hard time getting her out of bed the next morning and we couldn't be late since Emma was starting Preschool that day. Although it was hard to get going, once we did, Emma's transition into Preschool is a breeze. Her new teacher Miss Lynda says Emma is the easiest transition she has ever had since she is so easy going. No tears or fears dropping her off for the last two days. Hope that means there really isn't an adjustment period. I am very proud of her! She is a big girl now and I am not sure I am ready...
