First Slumber Party

Isabella went to her first Slumber Party last night. A little different than a Brownie Lock In.

Her classmate and friend Payton turned 8 and had her first slumber party birthday party. All 8 girls from the 2nd grade class were invited. 5 were able to come so the party girl and her sister totalled 7 girls.

Isabella was excited and nervous.

The phone rang at 9:36pm. Lori was calling to see if it was OK to give Isabella Motrin because Isabella had a headache. I said, "hmmm....this child hasn't been "sick" since she was 3 years old". Isabella got on the phone and immediately started crying that she wanted to come home.

After digging closer I found out that the girls had played musical chairs and she was dizzy. That combined with the fact that normal bedtime for her is 7:30pm (which they were now 2 hours past and playing musical chairs)was most likely the cause of the mysterious headache. Of course, by the time I hung up the phone I was crying too and Rami had come downstairs to say he would go pick her up right away if she needed.

I convinced Isabella to stay (mainly because I thought she may regret leaving early come Monday when all the girls were back at school).

I didn't sleep a wink until 2am and then had a fitful sleep. I eventually decided to sleep in Isabella's bed. I snuggled up with her pillow and dozed off for a few hours. My eyelids are swollen today from lack of sleep.

Isabella got home at 10am with great memories and a goodie bag full of wonderful crafts that were made.

I think we'll try some one on one sleepovers this summer.
