School Birthday

Friday I took cupcakes up to Madeleine's school to celebrate her birthday. I arranged with the teacher to take them up there during the afternoon snack time. I was very excited but I didn't really think about the timing--this was the end of the last day of the week. By this time she was TIRED. It didn't go well. She cried when the teacher wanted to wash her hands (she wanted Mommy to do it). She cried when she we started to sing happy birthday to her. Then she cried when she realized that I was going to leave and come back to get her after school.

I ended up just having to take her home then because she was just too tired and too worked up. But I am glad that I did it because hopefully she will remember the cupcakes but not how upset she got.
