J had his first real sleepover just recently. We have had family come and stay before, as well as out of town friends, but that was different. This time it was a buddy and they got to have the entire downstairs to themselves (pretty much) for the night.
J's buddy is a bit older as you can see, just turned 13, but they get along well. They talk about all sorts of stuff and play video games together. This day, however, being Summer and beautiful outside, found them in the play yard, pool and trampoline.
As you can see, it gets a bit crowded in the pool with 3 of them in there. Not much swimming going on, but lots of horseplay and splashing to be had.
J loves it when he has guests on the trampoline, especially if they are big enough to really bounce him when they jump.
Having an older kid in the pool is good for the both of them as well. As you can see, they get a good idea of what swimming (and getting under the water with your head) is all about.
J tells me that it was an awesome experience and it has only encouraged him to ask for more folks to stay over at the house. I couldn't be happier about it.
Later-E
