Cole's First Sleepover

Wow! What a milestone! Cole had his first sleepover tonight. His friend (and my best friend's son) Andrew came home with us after the Pirate Party so he could escape his sister's slumber party happening at his house! Both boys had looked so forward to it for days and they did great with it! I wasn't sure how it would go because they're still so little, but luckily he felt really comfortable here.

Cole was thrilled to discover a big "drawer" under his bed. We'd never needed it before, so he didn't know it pulled out to make another sleeping place. Of course, the idea was for Andrew to sleep down there and Cole to sleep up on his regular mattress...but they needed to be "together" so they both squeezed in to the lower part.

They had a lot of trouble going to sleep because they were so excited, but after lots of drinks of water and "reading" several books to each other, I finally got to take this picture of them fast asleep. I'm so thankful the flash didn't wake them up!
