Last night Xander had his first sleep over!!! He slept over at Max's house and was so excited for it! Since there was no school today and Brent & Lisa were over last night, they just took him home with them! I haven't heard yet how it went, but I'm sure he had a great time. Meanwhile back at home Mara didn't have the best night. Usually when we put the kids to bed Mara will stay in her bed and go to sleep really well. But last night within a few minutes of closing her door she was up! First she said she needed to go potty, which she tried, but nothing happened. So we got her back in bed, then another few minutes went by and she was up again. When I put her back to bed she said "I want Xander to get in bed!" "He need come home and get in bed". I didn't think that him being gone would bother her so much. We were able to put her in bed again, and we started watching some TV from this past week on our DVR. Sure enough within 5 minutes she was up AGAIN!!! We let her sit with us for a bit, then decided to let her sleep in Xander's bed. She was happy about that and went down pretty good. She did get up in the middle of the night, saying she was scared, but after a few minutes in bed with us she started to fall asleep, so I put her back in bed. She was good and slept until 8 or so. This was just an interesting experience for me. I didn't think that she would have acted like this, but it makes sense. Xander & Mara have been sharing a room since Mara was 3 or 4 months old, so it's very much a comfort thing for Mara to have Xander there with her. No wonder she's been so great in her toddler bed. I just hope that all went well with the sleep over and I look forward to stories and pictures :)On anther note: My sister Karri gave Mara a Princess calendar last night and it had paper dolls with vinyl accessories. She and Conli were playing with them alot last night. Mara got them out this morning and decided that she wanted to put on a puppet show for me. So she got a chair behind the couch and told me to sit down and watch. She was being so cute!! I took 2 videos and was able to post 1. The second one is my favorite, but it was too big for blogger :( It's just amazing the imagination of a 2 year old! ENJOY![Image][Image] I just love how she says "Go to the Ball" [Video]
