Birthday Party Season

In addition to his brother's birthday, Evan had two other parties to attend this month. His friend Connor had his 3rd birthday party at a Sports Bounce place at 9 AM last Saturday. They had a lot of different 'bouncy houses' and slides and several playrooms with a variety of equipment for the kids. Evan was very shy and clingy to me for about 5 minutes, but after the first ride down one of the giant slides, he was fine. He had a great time, but when the facility staff rounded up the kids and made them sit down to eat breakfast snacks, he was not happy. He wanted to play some more and couldn't understand why that part of the party was over.
Yesterday I took him to his friend Shaun's 3rd birthday party, which was held at Shaun's house. Evan and his friends loved all of Shaun's cool toys, but there was some bitter rivalry that came out over a riding tractor. We eventually had to take the kids back inside because they couldn't figure out how to take turns and had started calling each other names like "Stinky Bum-Bum" and "Bad Bo-Bo."
