Last Saturday we went to Mel and Christian’s for a family dinner, and on the drive there Kolby asked if he could sleep over at his cousin, Jaden’s, house. After explaining to him that it isn’t polite to invite yourself to sleep over at someone else’s house, but that it’s ok to invite someone to your house if Mommy and Daddy say it’s alright, he asked if Jaden could sleep over at our house that night. I told him that it wouldn’t work that night because Jaden wouldn’t be able to get back to his house in time for church the next morning, but said that we could invite him to spend the night after Eli’s birthday party on Thursday (since Kolby and Eli don’t have preschool on Fridays). This worked for Mel, and we made plans for the sleep over.
The boys were excited for Jaden to stay, and I was glad that Jaden seemed excited, and not at all nervous about staying after his parents left too. We put the kids to bed around 8:00, with Jaden and Eli sharing Eli’s big bed together, and they did pretty well. As expected, they played and talked in bed for quite a while. Around 10:00 Jaden came out of the bedroom, and with a very concerned look on his face, told us that Eli had broken his pillow. It turns out Eli had just taken the pillowcase off, so that was an easy fix. :) We ended up putting Jaden in our bed (just because we didn’t want them to wake up Isaac, who shares a room with Eli), and then we moved Jaden back into Eli’s bed after they had both fallen asleep. In the morning the kids all played with toys and colored until breakfast time, we ate, and then they played all morning until lunch. After lunch I put all five boys down for naps, and Christian ended up coming to pick Jaden up while he was napping. I thought that it went very well, for how young the boys are. And they had so much fun! I took this picture that night before the boys went to bed, and I think it turned out so cute of each of them:
