I accompanied Connor to attend one of his classmates’ birthday party on Saturday morning.  Connor was excited about it and he was looking forward to playing with two of his best buddies from class (2 girls).  But when he found out Logan was not going, he initially was slightly disappointed but quickly got over it.  The party was held at the new Pump It Up and it was nice and cleaner there.  We were the first guests to arrive, so Connor played briefly with the birthday girl and I captured a picture of the two of them.  Shortly after the introduction, the kids were led into the first room to play.  Connor jumped right in to play, so I just hung out to chat with other parents.  Later we were moved to the second room.  Connor and one of his buddies Haritha started to play with each other in a tall bouncy house.  Connor had difficulty climbing up until Haritha’s dad went in to give him some guidance, then Connor went up and down without any issue afterward.  However once he came down the slide, Haritha quickly followed him and bumped into Connor.  So Connor had a big cry for awhile.  He calmed down just in time for the group photo, then they were moved yet again to the third playroom.  Connor enjoyed playing at a ball toss bouncy apparatus, but so were many other kids, including Haritha.  The kids were quite rough reaching for the balls.  Therefore, Connor tried to go to the opposite and quieter end to toss balls, but Haritha kept trying to follow him, and Connor ended up saying some mean words to her.  I took him away to take a quick break until he promised to be nice again.  They returned to play together nicely afterward.  Finally the play time was over and we were moved to the party room.  The kids sang to the birthday girl and sat down to have pizza.  Haritha rushed over to sit next to Connor, and they were quite chatty with each other while they ate.  The kids then had cakes and received a party favor, and everyone was happy to say goodbye to each other.
