The volume at the pyjama party got progressively louder . .
At around 9.30pm one of the girls appeared slightly tearful at the living room door. She is one of the quietest, shyest girls you could imagine. Not a natural match for my extrovert daughter, but she picks her friends carefully and not without good reason. I had a quiet word with my daughter, suggested they might pick a calmer activity that her guest could join in with more comfortably. The rest of the evening passed without incident. I checked their room at 11.30pm and all four girls were peacefully slumbering 馃槍 The downside was that they started again at 6.30am, but everyone seemed happy and no one had to go home early. When the last guest had left I asked my daughter if I'd spoiled things by asking them to be quieter. No, she replied, but the whole party would have been spoiled if S had become really upset and had to go home early 馃
She says all this with complete earnestness and honesty. I love her so much. Imagine if everyone could change tack at the drop of a hat, just to make others feel included. We might even make progress! 馃槉
