Oh, that sweet child of mine.

We just had Ambria and Kayden over the weekend. Typically it was our weekend to have all the kids but they had plans with their mom. So since the kids weren't around to keep Ambria entertained we decided we would let her friend from across the street, Kela, come sleep over. She is 4 just like Ambria and they play really well together. Kela didn't really play with friends before Ambria went knocking on her door one day, and they have been best friends ever since. This was her first sleepover. She hasn't ever slept at anyones house before, and her parents weren't 100% sure she would make it through the night.

The night started out great. Kela brought over her Disney Princess rolling suit case with her jammies, hair brush, flashlight, bubble bath. It was really cute! Her and Ambria played with glow sticks and danced to Britney Spears in Ambria's room. Then they took a bath together and we had them go downstairs to watch movies so Kman could go to sleep. First they watched the Grinch, then Santa Claus 3. Not sure why they wanted to watch Christmas movies but I didn't complain because it kept them busy.

Nick and I laid down about 10:00pm and fell asleep. About midnight I heard my bedroom door squeak open. Ambria had come up to get a drink and came to wake us up to get her one. I told Nick to go down and make sure the TV was off and put them to sleep and when he went downstairs Kela was sitting up on the couch looking distraught. He asked "what's wrong honey?" and she said "Ambria keeps waking me up because she needs a drink!!!" She was NOT a happy camper. She asked Nick if he would take her home and Nick asked her if she wanted to give it one more chance. Her reply was "if she wakes me up one more time, I'M GOING HOME!" When Nick came upstairs he was laughing so hard he could hardly tell me what happened.

About 5 minutes later Kela came upstairs to tell Nick she had changed her mind and ask him if he would walk her home. When they got to her door they rang the doorbell a couple of times, and after standing there for about 5 minutes Nick asked "Do you want to just come back to our house honey, and you can sleep in the beds instead of on the couch" Kela replied "yes, but as long as I can sleep on the top bunk AWAY from Ambria!" Just as they were turning to walk around her mom answered the door and she went running in the house crying. Nick explained what had happened and her mom just laughed.

Yesterday when we were driving home from shopping Ambria asked "Mom, maybe next weekend Kela could come sleep over again" and I just laughed and said "honey, I'm not so sure she wants to sleep over anymore." Oh, that sweet child of mine.
