Adilyn's first sleepover at Dove's house was back in October, and she did not do that great. She stayed up until about 3:00am, and she kept watching show after show. I know Dove's mom kept thinking that she was going to pass out, and she did...eventually! Dove invited her for another sleepover this weekend. I told Adilyn that she didn't have to go, and that I would pick her up super late. She decided that she wanted to try. I made it very clear to her that she was not to stay up later than the first movie that was put it. If she couldn't sleep, she needed to call me right away and I would come get her. I could tell she was nervous before we left, and I asked her about it. She said, "I am just scared that I won't be able to fall asleep." We talked about it again, and I let her know that I didn't care one way or the other if she did, but she could call me at any time.
Well, I never got a call. She made it. The movie was over around 12:15am, she said that her and Madeline were still awake, but that they went to sleep quickly. She was so proud of herself, and I was proud of her. I know it's a big thing to stay away from home, and it's just one more sign of her growing up. I am also glad that she has friends that are sweet and that she can have fun with!
