Erica packing for sleepover
Erica came to me today and said she would like to start packing for her overnight on Saturday at one of her grandparents house. I asked her what she thought she would need for her overnight. She mentioned pajamas, a change of clothes, extra underwear and socks, a book and a doll.
I thought that was pretty good and suggested she also add a dress for church and shoes for play in case she gets to go outside.
She headed up to her room and was there for over an hour. Then she came down with a pink backpack on her back reporting that she was all packed.
“Great!”, I said, “Let’s take a look and see what you have.”
The following contents came out of the pack:
- 2 dolls
- 1 tamborine
- 1 set of maracas
- 1 tiara
- 2 necklaces
- 1 dress
No shoes, no PJs, no change of clothes, no underwear, no socks.
“Where are the things we talked about?”, I asked.
“Well, daddy, there wasn’t enough room for everything so…”
