P is for Party!

We had a few of Squish's classmates (and their parents and siblings) over for pizza and cake last night to celebrate his fourth birthday. After much discussion, The Hubs and I agreed that while the family party we have for the Squishes every year is fun, this was the year we should invite school friends. But we also knew that having everyone over for one party would be overload for Squish, for his classmates, and for us. So pizza party night was born.

And it was FANTASTIC! The kiddos did great. We bounced on the trampoline, played on the swingset, ate pizza and cake, and then it was over. It was so fun and time just flew by. And honestly, it was the least stressful party we've ever had. Squish was totally at ease with his classmates, and we were at ease as parents knowing that everyone in the room understood us and our unique challenges and opportunities. It was like an instant bond developed.

And when everyone left and tubs were had and pjs put on, Squish looked at me and said, "What happened?" and I said, "We had a party for you, did you have fun?"

"Party" he said with a smile. What a kick-ass way to start his fourth year!
