Ava and her daddy have been talking about an overnight camp adventure for some time. They set up their tent in the back yard several weeks ago - played in it, but there was little interest in actually sleeping in it. However, this time around, Ava had it in her mind that they were sleeping in the tent. She even asked me if she was wearing her pajamas and everyone was frantic searching for her pink flashlight. I knew she was serious, so I immediately got her dressed for bed and found what light sources I could. Out the door she went with all of the comforts she needed for the night. It was 7:00 PM at the time. By 8:00 PM I thought to myself...this just may work. By 9:00 PM they were in the house for a snack and to my surprise quickly back out the door and in their tent. I checked on them at 10:00 PM and Chris whispered, "she's not asleep." I left and returned at 10:45 PM and they were both sound asleep. I can't believe it! What precious people I have in my life. And, what a great daddy to make such precious memories with his little girl!
