This is Megan and her friend Annalise. They met at Fairhavens this summer when her family came camping for the week. It's quite incredulous really because Megan and Annalise are intellectually developmentally identical! Megan has never had a real friend before so this is fantastic......Annalise's parents were also thrilled because they had been praying that their daughter would make a friend at Fairhavens this year. Another great thing about this whole situation is that people come from all over to camp at Fairhavens..(that's not the great part)...the great part is that Annalise's family lives very close to us....actually about two minutes from where eldest daughter lives! This is fantastic...Megan finally has a friend and she's close by for them to hang out! So what do best friends automatically do...you got it..they plan a sleepover! A few weeks ago they started planning...the earliest for either family's schedule was yesterday. For the last two weeks ...daily....we have heard the count down from Megan......although because she has time issues it was a little confusing........3 more months........months??? ...is it years? no, it's not years or months......this is Monday...Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday....these are called days.........so.. how long is it? days???? (hesitantly)...yes! Everyday people.....every cottin' pickin' day! Of course, yesterday was the worst...every few minutes....is it time to go and get her......how about I brush my teeth now.....(@3 pm....even though we weren't picking her up til 8:30pm).......Annalise and I are going to do this...and Annalise and I are going to do that......when Annalise is here......
So, Annalise came last night...both girls were grinning from ear to ear the whole drive home.....when they got home they both wanted to watch their favourite 'Little House on the Prairie' (we have some DVD's).....then at 10:30pm they asked to play the Wii games...hubby was having a cow because of course he has to get up early in the morning......but....I'm thinking that because these girls are both delayed they didn't realize that sleepovers meant staying up half the night cause they both were in bed and quiet by 11 pm.! Hubby was pleased!
So, this morning they both awoke when hubby left for work at 7:30am.....chattering away and laughing.....it was a nice sound.
