Just more sweetness
Allison & Annie are off to overnight girl scout camp, tonight. It’s a ’sisterhood’ camp & it’s just one overnight, then back home tomorrow.
I’ve been worried about how Annie’s going to sleep without me there. She’s only done that a few times & it was always at an aunt’s house - not in a cabin with her big sister.
But, I didn’t want to talk to Annie about it - didn’t want to plant the seed that there’s any reason why she *should* have a problem.
Last night, though, in the kitchen, with Annie in another room, I did have this conversation with Allison…
me: I’m a little worried about how Annie will do at bedtime.
Allison: She’s not bad at bedtime whenever I watch her. Goes right to bed & doesn’t give me a hard time
me: No, I’m not afraid that she’ll be naughty. I’m afraid she’ll be scared.
Allison: Oh, that’s OK. I’ll sleep with her if she wants me to.
:-)
I like that young woman. She’s the best big sister I could hope for, for the kids.
