First "Camp out"

Last week Thursday, after a good mexican dinner downtown, Reese had her first sleepover at Grammie and Gramps' house.

They have been offering this all summer....and Reese has been working up her courage to do it.
She happily packed her bag....which is mostly dolls and stuff animals.
But when it was time to go, her smile turned into this worried look:

She went back and forth all dinner long about where or not she wanted to go through with it.
Finally, after ice cream and a walk through town, she decided she was going to try it.
The hardest person to say goodbye to was..... Maleah!

She did very well, ended up sleeping all night!
She woke up the next morning, turned off her sound machine and "Came right out like a big person mommy!"

She was so very proud of herself!

And just last summer I was getting my courage up to leave her overnight for a girls weekend in Leavenworth....things sure change in a year! :)

She is definitely getting to be a big person! Glad she had a good time.
