DD is almost ten and has been planning her birthday party for literally months now.

She's made the invitations and I am having to suppress my need to control that and just let her make them the way SHE wants to. We're letting her have a slumber party - we've done sleepovers (one person here at a time) but this will be a first for us.

She's come up with a schedule for the evening and true to her personality, she has included a time for books and quiet chatting, along with a lights out time.

I'll be curious to see how that all plays out!
