How do your kids fare at birthday parties?
Jonah’s been invited to a birthday party.
On one hand I am ecstatic that he was invited…
On the other hand…
(This is where the anxiety goes through the roof).
You know what I’m talking about.
All the “what if’s.”
What if he misbehaves?
What if he has a meltdown?
What if he doesn’t WANT to be there?
Do we just leave?
Should we just turn down the invite to save the headache?
Does Jonah even CARE about going?
I am assuming that invites were sent to his whole class. As such I know there are at least 3 other Ausome kids in his class, so if they also come…strength in numbers right?
It DOES help that the party is at McDonald’s, as the play area there is one of Jonah’s favorite places and at least he will eat something.
So we will chance it and see.
Jonah may not see it as a birthday party, but hopefully he will still have some fun.
