On Saturday we took our 6 yr. old to a local playzone for his birthday, we invited a few cousins and a few friends from school. I had heard back from all the school friends except one. SO, my ds is running over to the door every few minutes and we're telling him he can't be by the door to get back where he is suppose to be etc. Finally, I went over ready to really lay into him about not listening...he says "Mommy, I am looking for Jacob!" I explained I had not heard from his mommy and didn't think he was going to be able to be there. He looked up at me with his big old brown eyes and said " but I gave him the invitation" I almost cried! His heart was just broke! I explained he had other friends there and should play with them so not to make them feel bad and he agreed and was off to have lots of fun. I just felt so helpless, how do you make them feel better after such heartbreak? Guess that is just the first of many for the lil' guy, Momma just needs to learn to handle it better!

Seeing a bit of hurt in your babe's eyes...hard on Mamas to be sure!!!
Glad he had a good time at his party in spite of Jacob not coming. It is hard to let it go sometimes...
Blessings,
