At the beginning of the school year, being in separate classes, I tried to prepare the girls for the time that only one of them would be invited to a B-day party, also a heads up for separate field trips, activities, class parties, etc. Up until now, we’ve lucked out and they’ve both been invited together, they have many of the same friends. Unfortunately, Sage was the one getting the mail the other day and came running to me asking where hers was. She handed me the invitation addressed to Sophie… after a few tears and me reminding her that this would happen, and sometimes it will happen the other way around, she sadly asked Sophie if she could bring her home a piece of cake. So some quick thinking and a plan B for Sage...
The next best thing to a birthday party is a play date with one of your BFF's.
Sophie had a blast at the party, and Sage wasn't a bit sad when we dropped Sophie off. She had a great time with Aspen making cookies, jumping on the tramp, and playing Basketball- all smiles! Sophie brought home a balloon for her sis and they shared the good times they had. A good plan that I’m sure to use in the future.
