Rosie's first sleepover

Guest 4 at sleepover
Originally uploaded by KiwiGirlSteph

Tonight Rosie will be sleeping at her daycare-friend CeCe's house. First Sleepover!! CeCe's parents, Heather and Steve, have graciously invited all of us over for dinner, which should make the evening go more smoothly, I hope. We can get her all settled after dinner and be on our way with Dash.

Rosie seems totally excited about the idea and unless CeCe's cat jumps on her in the middle of the night, or she has a bad dream, she should be fine. Dash will probably want to stay, too, so we'll be playing the whole event by ear as we go. We were reading a book called Froggy's Sleepover that addressed some anxieties and we talked about what Froggy and his friend could have done better, so she's just as prepared as she can be, right? The book gave me some ideas of what she ought to pack, i.e., Froggy forgot his "huggy" and his toothbrush, & had to go home to retrieve them.

The best advice I've gotten so far is to just play it cool, exude confidence in her abilities to have fun with her friend, and assure her that we'll be seeing her in the morning! I'll be sure to posts pics soon. Wish us luck!
