   Doing a load of laundry or baking fresh cookies will also make the house smell good and slightly more natural. , You guys are going to make a mess, so you may as well have a clean slate.
   
   Make sure you know what you are sleeping in! ,, If you guys can't compromise, write down games on slips of paper you both want to play and put them in a hat, shake the hat around and pick one out. , Lend her a stuffed teddy to sleep with if she is feeling a little uncomfortable around bedtime. ,,, Don't pressure her to stay up later because if she's cranky this may cause some conflict. , Grab an apple, go sit in a chair, read a book, watch a movie on a low volume, etc.But make sure she will know where to find you when she wakes up! ,, Do something in the house so that you guys aren't away when her mom or dad comes or it is time to drop her off like playing a board game or playing in your garden. , Walk her out of the house if you are able to.
