I've decided to let my kids have a sleepover tomorrow night.
Tai has been asking for about a full year now when his sister can sleep over in his room. His desire to have her sleep in there with him is so genuine and so sweet that I feel like I have to take advantage of that sentiment before they are bratty middle-schoolers who want nothing to do with each other.
Being a glutton for punishment, I've decided that now is a good time to try this. You know, I'm already extra stressed and exhausted these days, so I might as well set up a situation that will likely result in less sleep for all of us. Why the hell not?
So, tomorrow night we will dine on pizza, get into our PJs, pop some popcorn, and watch a movie. Then I'll tuck both kids in on the queen-sized air mattress on the floor of Tai's room and see what happens.
I'm not worried about Tai. He's had a good friend sleepover several times and it has always worked well. They goof around for an hour or two after lights out and then Tai finally gets fed up and moves to his bed to get some good sleep. But I have no idea what Quynh will do in this situation. She's always slept either in her crib or in bed with us. The freedom to roll around on (or get off of!) the air mattress may go to her head. She may get silly, or she may get confused and scared. And, knowing her, she may get naked.
Place your bets now, folks. Who thinks that:
(a) I'll end up sleeping on the air mattress with them
(b) One or both of them will end up in my bed
(c) Quynh will end up back in her crib
(d) No one will get any sleep
Wish me luck?
