Lola spent the night with us last night. Emerson was so excited to have a friend sleepover. Lola however, not too excited about the idea. We brought them to Dixie to ride rides, eat wonderful nutritious dinner and watch the LaserLite Show. All to get them as tired as possible thus making the sleeping much easier for everyone. Lola was not too excited when her grandmother "K.K." dropped her off at our house. A sucker made it much easier to handle. We loaded them into the car and set out to Dixie. Lola had never been before so she had no frame of reference when we told her where we were taking them. The way there Lola is like, "I would like you to call my K.K. and have her pick me up now", " Are you taking me to my K.K.'s house Aunt Shell"? "Aunt Shell, have you called my K.K. to come get me yet"? She's all yeah whatever the hell you are talking about sounds terrible and I want to go to K.K's. Meanwhile, Denny and I are panicking inside....until we turn the corner into the driveway of Dixie. Lola takes a deep breath and says loudly, "ARE WE GOING THERE"? We are telling her yes and Emerson is explaining the rules of riding rides. Lola says "CAN I RIDE THOSE"? And from here on she was fine. They rode every ride they could twice, ate pizza, hot dogs, french fries, ice cream cones and danced to the music at the laserlite show.
We got them home, bathed them and started the bedtime routine. Lola starts figuring out that she just may have to sleep at our house. They read a few books and Lola wants to know when her Mom is coming to pick her up. We talked to her about sleeping next to Em and having breakfast in the morning. After a brief discussion about the breakfast options, prayers and some rocking both girls are asleep. Lola woke up this morning, walked out the bedroom and announced she was ready for her waffle.
They played until after lunch and had a great time together as they always do.
