The kids are so sad to see the summer go for so many reasons. But one reason I never would have expected in a million years is because the summertime slumber party had to come to an end.
It all started when school let out and the girls wanted to sleep in the same room together. What we thought would be for the weekend turned into Monday as well, then another day, and another. Well then Sevea wanted to sleep with Cohen. But Brynna is the one kid who actually really hates sleeping alone. So she agreed to sleep on a pillow bed on the floor with the two of them in the bed. Well another night comes and they want to do it again. But Brynna doesn’t want to sleep on the floor by herself again. So a switch is made. The next night it ends up being all three kids in the bed together. That worked for a little while until they spent the 4th of July vacation all on pillow beds at the cabin. So for the rest of the summer except for maybe a night where we forced them to sleep apart, they had been sleeping on the floor on pillow beds next to each other. It was a really hard thing to end when school started because they generally did so well. Of course they talked a little longer than we would have liked but the chances of them wanting to do this for years to come are slim. So I totally just tried to soak it in and let them want to be within arms reach of each other. That arms reach only resulted in a hand to the face twice the whole summer. I guess that means it was a successful summertime sibling slumber party.
