Shayla's First Sleepover At Our House

What fun this has been and still is!!

Shayla has already had several sleep-overs at friends' and relatives' houses before, but last night was the first sleep-over of Shayla's that we, her parents, have hosted. This has been fun. Yes, it's true that it is a lot of work, but it's fun to watch them have such a good time together. That being said, we had a 'blank' itinerary which is obviously the easiest that it will ever get. I stand in awe at the planning and am exhausted at the thought of all the energy that must have gone into the Week Long, Multi-Kid Extravaganza that went on at Nana and Risa's house in Houston earlier this Summer!

What I can say is that it's fun watching them having and building those first real friendships and relationships. Listening to their conversations is a hoot! They're so funny! It also gives one a little insight into your own relationships to listen to them go through the undulations of their own. Very interesting and insightful!
