Tonight, we are trying a new concept. A sleep under.

Most of us are familiar with the concept of a sleep over. The jammie time, the pillow fights and other fun things. But with kids under 5 or 6, a sleep over is just too much. The concept is great, but the reality when it is time to go to sleep and you are not with mommy or daddy is just too much.

So tonight, Soleil’s best friend Rachael is coming over for a sleep under! We are going out to dinner at Friendly’s (aka the Ice Cream Restaurant) and then over to our house. The girls will play and then get dressed for bed. Popcorn will be made. Cinderella goes in the VCR and they can watch the movie. Then we will read some night time books and Rachael and her parents will head home.

I think this will work well. Rachael will conk out on the ride home and Soleil will be thrilled to have a sleep under!
