Her First Night Away

Will She Stay?

By Rowan Finley Published 6 years ago 1 min read

My baby girl is four years old now and she is getting all ready to spend the night at Papa's and Mema's new house.

Without her, it sure is quiet as a mouse!

She is so excited! We'll see how this goes, will she really stay the whole night?

What a little sight!

She is too cute, bucket of toys and bedtime clothes in hand.

With her, life is surely never bland!

We won't get to snuggle like we usually do tonight.

Papa and Mema will be the ones to turn out the light;

to kiss you on the cheek,

and make sure that you finally fall asleep.
