Photos and sleepover

[Guest guest]

I finally (after how many years) posted some photos of in

Kerrigan family album, if you are interested.

Also, had a big milestone this weekend..... she went to a

birthday party sleepover, alone! The mom is really great, used to be a

teacher, and has 5 kids of her own, so things don't fluster her much,

and she was fine having there without mom. We got there, and

I showed where I put her sleeping bag and pillow, and she ran

off to play with the kids. I was chatting with the other moms a bit,

and when she came downstairs, she seemed surprised to see me, but said

goodbye and went outside with the kids. So, I told the mom to call me

if ANYTHING came up, and I left. Apparently from the report I got the

next morning, ate her pizza and salad, played some more,

watched part of Nanny McPhee, and at 8:30, got up from the movie, told

the mom she was going to bed, unrolled her sleeping bag, got on her PJs

and went to sleep..... the perfect sleepever guest, LOL. The other

girls came to bed about an hour later, but she didn't wake up. The only

" incident " was that when lost at Hot Potato during the party

games, she got sad and didn't want to play any more games. However, the

mom convinced her to play whatever they were doing next, and

didn't win that either, but didn't fall apart..... I'm sure they were

all holding their breaths! Hopefully it gets around that is a

lovely sleepover party guest..... we all know that the " not so

wonderful, don't ever sleep, keep everyone else awake " kids names get

passed around, LOL.

She was very tired the entire day, but it was so worth it! She is

turning into quite the party girl these days.... she was invited to her

good friend's swimming birthday party next weekend (too bad she doesn't

swim :-), and was invited to sleep over after. This little girl also

has DS, and they are very close. So, it seems like at this moment in

time, everything is working just as we might have hoped for her.........

one weekend party with her typical school friends (who are nice, but not

super close) and one weekend party with (who lives 25 minutes

away, but they are best buds and really click).... only 8 more school

days left and we are soooooooo ready for summer to begin.

Well, guess I should get to bed....... I have to get up early to run to

Walmart and get some elastic to finish 's dog costume for the 5th

grade play..... did you know that and had a dog? I didn't.

Oh, and the dog sings a solo and dances, and has lines and everything?

Dress rehearsal tomorrow, and I'm still making the costume....... when

will I learn not to wait til the last minute!

Not only did I NOT know and had a dog.. I did not know that

Dog could TALK much less sing and dance ! No wonder they could afford to

travel so much.. with a talking doggy.. there must have been rich ! You

just make sure that L & C dog costume is period correct! ROFL..

( my friends are all re-enactors.. everything is period correct or else

! ) Sounds WONDERFUL..

Just make sure you post a pic from her performance. Is this her first

Debut?
