Sleepovers

Another cultural experience is happening tonight - our two older girls are both having sleepovers. Christy is at Angie's house, and Amber is over here with Jenny.

One teacher told me a pessimistic view of sleepovers - it's a time when little girls tell each other secrets, and then spread each other's "classified" information all over the playground the next school day. Wow! I'd like to think that doesn't happen, but it probably does to some.

Regardless, we've decided that sleepovers are a great bonding time for kids, as long as they are old enough to avoid doing something extreme. You have to trust friends at some level, and sleepovers seem to be a good expression of that trust.

So... here's to hoping we get a decent night's sleep tonight :-)
