First Sleep-over

Aljosha & Eliza

Earlier this month Eliza was invited for her first sleep-over (or as I would say spend-the-night). It was her friend Aljosha's first time inviting someone, as well. Aljosha is in a grade above Eliza, but they see each other at carpool and every Sunday when his family (Bettina, Clemens, Janalou - Miles's age, & baby Noah) come over to our house for tennis lessons. As with Miles's first time sleeping over, everyone ended up in bed with the mommy (no tears), but it was a good time by all.
