I have been hearing a lot of stories about mumma’s and dadda’s sleepovers. They had so much fun with their friends. They did whatever they wanted and there was no one to stop them. Mumma told me she had a pillow fight contest with her friend during one sleepover and it was the best ever thing they did together.

I always wanted to experience something like that. So I told dadda that I want to do a sleepover with my friend and have as much fun as they did. Dadda agreed immediately but he told we need to ask mumma as well. When mumma came back from shopping, I told her about my sleepover plan. She said, she went for a sleepover when she was ten years old…so I might be too young for a night over. But then I had an instant idea in mind – what if my friends come over to sleep with me in my house? She said she will talk to my friend’s parents to check if they want to allow my friend for a sleepover.

My parents and my friend’s parents are know each other very well and they have been going out frequently, so I don’t think they will have any problem if my friends stays with me for one night. Mumma said she will call them in the morning and if they allow her, we can have a sleepover during the weekend.

I was very anxious to know whether my friend would be allowed to come over to our place or not. Next morning I woke up early and ate my breakfast without creating any problem. Then I waited for mumma to call my friend’s parents. It was around 10’o clock when mumma called them; once she put down the phone she said – congratulations! Get ready for your first sleepover!

I was so excited. I will spend a night with my friend alone and we can do anything we want! I asked mumma and dadda, what would I require for a sleepover? They said we would need some snacks, juices, lots of games and some story books. So made a list of the chips, wafers, chocolates, juices, story books and the games we need. It was quite a lengthy list but mumma said she will get me everything. I told my friend to bring some story books and games from her home, so that we have lots of them.

Finally it was Saturday night and it was time for our first sleepover. My friend came around 7’o clock. Her parents came to leave her. They stayed to chat with mumma and dadda for some time and then they went back home. We went inside our room and started playing. We enjoyed our snacks and enjoyed storytelling. Finally we were sleepy and fell asleep. Next morning we woke up early and enjoyed our breakfast together. Mumma prepared the best breakfast ever!

Then she said my friends parents would be coming to take her home, so we should have as much fun as we want till they come.
