We made a decision to let the children have a sleepover last night. This was based on a lot of things, the CDC's change in recommended guidance for COVID-19, including those for vaccinated people. Per an idea of my neighbor, my daughter would sleep with Madison and my son would have Whitaker over.
These neighbor children are ones my children have spent time with outdoors for the past several months. All the parents are vaccinated and so we felt the risk was reasonably low. Not zero, but low enough that with the updated guidance, it was something we were willing to do.
The children had fun, although we had to remind them today that just because we allowed one sleepover, we were not letting other children into the house. They were a bit disgruntled about that but we told them that would remain the rule for now and likely for some time still.
I hesitated writing about this because, in the past, we have received either direct or indirect criticism about the choices we have made with regards to COVID-19 and the safety of others either direct or secondarily direct. We have always followed all CDC, state, and local government recommendations not to mention the somewhat more strict school guidelines. We know our choices might be different from what others might make but we respectfully understand each person must make the choices that are best for them.
