Sleepover

Riley and Brenna have been talking about having a sleepover for a long time so we decided to try it out tonight.  We figure if they are going to be sharing a room relatively soon, it might not be a bad idea to see how they do.

We ended up putting Brenna in her room after about 30 minutes because she didn't want to go to sleep in the big bed.  She just kept trying to talk to Riley and play with her.  I should mention that they were in the same bed and Brenna took a 3 hour nap today.  Also, we were out much later than usual last night so Riley went to sleep last night around 9:45 and then had a full day today (all day school, then her dance class, which had its "observation class" today and a little celebration afterwards).

Although they didn't go to sleep, it was really sweet to see/hear them.  I tried to write down some of the funnier things I heard.  This is in chronological order.

Riley: "Brenna, can I call you Bubba?"
Brenna: "No."
Riley: "Why?"
Brenna: "Because you can call me Gil, because I have a belly button"
Riley: "Gil, we need to get some sleep."

Brenna: "Knock, knock"
Riley: "Who's there?"
Brenna: "Mama"
Riley: "Mama who?"
Brenna: "I love Mama!"
Riley: "Awww, you love Mama, huh?"

Riley: "Knock, knock"
Brenna: "Who's there?"
Riley: "Brenna"
Brenna: "Brenna who?"
Riley: "I love Brenna"
Brenna: "Aw... can I give you a hug?"
Riley: "Yeah"
*hug*

Riley: "It's so late, it's time to sleep"
Brenna: "But I love the Christmas tree!"

Brenna: "Oh no!"
Riley: "What happened?
Brenna: "My feet fell off!"
Riley: "It's ok, we'll put the blanket back on.  Now let's have a good sleep."

Riley: "Bubba is a nickname for Gil"

Brenna: "What's happening? It's so dark in here!"

Brenna: "Should we go downstairs?  What do you think?"
Riley: "The clock is blue. We need to stay up here. When the clock is orange we can wake up."
Brenna: "We can wake up!!"
Riley: "Now get to sleep.  Close your eyes."

Brenna: "Where does the pig live?"
Riley: "On a farm."
Brenna: "Where do sea lions live?"
Riley: "They live in the sea"
Brenna: "And where do the pigs live?"
Riley: "They live on the farm.  And they play in the mud."
Brenna: "They have mud on them! Haha! Silly pigs!"

Riley: "Now lay down, close your eyes, don't talk, and get to sleep!"

[Brenna pokes Riley in the eye]
Riley: "Ouch, Brenna! I'm going to go downstairs and tell mom that you hurt me!"
Brenna: "Oh!  Downstairs!  Can I come with you?"
Riley: "No!"
Brenna: "But I love you!"

Brenna: "Riley let's play patty cake!"
Riley: "I do NOT want to play patty cake; it's time for bed."
