Charlotte has made a very good friend very quickly at school. Her name is Evelyn and she and Charlotte follow each other around all the time (see the field trip here). We got invited to Evelyn’s birthday party over the weekend at Monkey Bizness. It was over dinner time so we thought it would be an easy evening – dinner taken care of, fun time with friends, wear them out, and go straight to bed.
Mostly it was great. They both had a blast running all over. It was adorable that Evelyn and Charlotte stuck together almost the entire time. Evelyn hardly paid attention to any of the other kids. While we were eating pizza Cooper lamented ‘where awe all my fwiends? I don’t hab any boyfwiends. Dare awe onwe two boys here foe me.’ (Not sure if I blogged about this but he exclaimed one day after school ‘Only I hab boyfwiends. Charyotte hab gulfwiends.’)
And then it sort of went downhill. We were crammed into a tiny room and the kids were hungry and tired. There wasn’t enough food or drinks for the adults and the kids, so I got cranky too. Charlotte was distracted with everything and would barely eat and Cooper was obsessed with the cake. Then when it was time to get a balloon Cooper pushed the other kids around and some of the older boys got upset with him. He was mad that the green balloon didn’t have a green string.
s we were leaving they got really upset that they couldn’t play anymore. Thank goodness for Bob Marley on the way home! They did zonk out pretty fast, so that was nice.
(Side note: Evelyn is the only other kid in the class besides Charlotte who has a Thomas the Train backpack. It’s a perfect match I tell you!)
