Aidan's first sleepover

Aidan's friend down the street had a sleepover on Friday night for his 7th birthday. Aidan has been so excited for the past week and has been packed since Wednesday!! Aidan and another little boy went over around 4:30. They had a great time but didn't go to sleep until about 11:30 and got up around 7:30. Aidan really needs his sleep and on the weekend usually goes to bed around 7:30 and gets up around 9:30 in the morning. By my calculations, he missed 6 hours of sleep. Last night he went to bed at 6:15 and was asleep by 6:30 and then got up at 9:00. He is still really grumpy and tired. I think we learned a lesson - a sleepover ruins the entire weekend for him and everyone else. Although he had fun and made it through the night just fine, I don't think we'll be doing it again any time soon!
