Since the girls started potty training I came up with the idea of rewarding them with a slumber party. No, not a slumber party with other kids but one with just me and them. I promised they could sleep in sleeing bags in mommy's scrapbook room and we could watch Toy Story (which they hadn't seen).
Well the time finally came which they were both pretty much completely potty trained with the exception of the occassional accident so I decided it was time. Last Friday after I picked them up from daycare we went and picked up one of their favorite meals affectionately called 'momma pasta'. I just wanted to start our fun and special night with a meal I knew they wouldn't whine about it and it worked. We had a great dinner and then off to take baths and get ready for the slumber party.
In stead of sleeping on the floor we laid out the sleeping bags on the futon and got settled in to watch Toy Story. It held their attention pretty well although at times Abby was more interested in the little back pack and flashlight that came with her sleeping bag. The three of us cuddled on the futon watching the movie having a girls night.
After the movie Megan was ready to fall asleep but not Abby. I let her watch a little Dora before lights out. She finally feel asleep about 9:30 which I was hoping with mean a later wake up but no such luck they were both up bright and early. Megan made it all worth while when the first thing she said that morning was 'that was the best slumber party ever'....so sweet!
