Okay, Kadee's gym is having a Halloween Pajamanastics. (basically like a lock in at the gym). Its from 8pm on the 30th till 8am on the 31st. They will have a haunted house, movie time, midnight snack, carnival games, costume contest, swimming, Play by Play time (big indoor playground), and much more..lol (not sure what the much more is).
Anywho, they have 3 or 4 of these things each year..all themed. Its for Kindergarten and up. Once they are "locked" in for the night, they dont leave, unless its must. She has never been old enough to go to one yet...this is the first time. Of course the HC talked to the team about it..and she wants to go. She has had 2 slumber parties before but other than that never spent a night away from mom and dad. When I asked the coach about her being so young she said that sometimes they have 3 or 4 her age there..and sometimes not a single one. I want her to be able to go..and cont. to grow her independence, but I dont want her to get there and once she starts getting tired and sees that they are not sleeping wanting to come home and not being able to till morning.
Ill never know if she is ready for that level of "away from home" if I never try it. But I also dont want her to go through having to stay if she doesnt want to. That in itself could pos. be a lesson learned also...really think about things before jumping into it. But at 5 is her mind really wired to even think that way?
