The author celebrates the freedom and fun associated with sleepovers, while expressing gratitude for the close-knit community of parents who shared in this experience, fostering friendship and connection among families.
I loved sleepovers so much that I requested a slumber party to celebrate every birthday.
As a parent, I looked forward to my children experiencing the same joy that sleepovers had brought me as a child.
Many of the rules my friends and I dutifully followed in our everyday lives vanished once the sun went down.
Some parents thought their kids were too young to start sleepovers in kindergarten, but others gladly allowed their kids to spend the night.
