TLM's first sleepover

I never know what to get the boy for his birthday, which is why I always ask him. And if he does tell me, and it's something I can get him, then he kinda expects another - surprise - present as well. Well this time, he decided it would be nice to send TLM off to the relatives for the night so that we could have one-on-one time with no pressure to get up early in the morning.

And we did.

We expected that TLM would be all for it. And we expected she'd be really excited about it and possibly not actually sleep at all. I really didn't expect that she'd let me go without at least a little cry of insecurity. But she seemed really okay with me leaving - maybe because she and her beloved cousins were busy making up her blow-up bed, and possibly planning midnight mayhem.

I'm just about to go pick her up now, and then I'll know how much sleep she got.
BTW, I got the boy a Wii Fit. I think he liked it.

How nice for all of you! I'm sure it was a rousing success all around.

Ahhh the Wii Fit. Ray and I keep looking at them in Dick Smith (after Ray played Wii Tennis with Mr Polly-H). I think it's only a matter of time. Although I'm waiting for the Wii 'Tour de France' where you can get on your wind trainer and race against Lance.

antoinette: yeah it was greaat - except I didnt sleep a wink!
donnasoowho: We still haven't had a go on it yet - it's too damn cold to use the next room where the console (and 2nd tv) lives.

nigel: did it make you do brave back bends?
