We attended Rohan’s 5th birthday party yesterday right after nap time.  We arrived to their house and the party was held in the backyard with a large jumpy house.  A few of Logan’s ex classmates came over to say hello to him, but Logan was not ready to play with them yet.   Both Logan and Connor spotted the popcorn machine and wanted to take a snack first.  They sat down nicely to have popcorn and fruits while watching other kids played.  Finally Stuart volunteered to go inside the jumpy house with Logan to encourage him, but Logan actually jumped in and started playing without Stuart.  He had a good time in there with the obstacles, climbing and sliding.  After seeing Logan inside, Connor wanted to play too.  Connor was quite self sufficient that Stuart did not need to accompany inside.  According to Stuart, the big kids were not too rough around Connor, giving him some space.  We took a break to  eat pizza, then the boys played inside the house instead.  We then sang the birthday song to Rohan, and Connor as usual ate the entire piece of cake while Logan only had a few bites.

    When the party came to an end, we stayed in the Gopal’s house to hang out for a bit long.  Both Logan and Connor climbed back in the jumpy house to play.  Then we had some more popcorns and they migrated back inside the house to watch some TV while we stayed out in the yard to relax in conversation with Rohans parents.  We ended up staying there for a couple more hours before we had to get going.  Logan had even suggested that he spend the night.
