Party Time

Little Prince was invited to his friend E's birthday party, they were best friends before E moved to a different local school, but still invite each other to their respective birthday parties. Little Prince really struggled this time as he was the only one from his school invited, and apart from E and his little brother he didn't know anyone. E is a nice boy, but not very empathic so he just ran off with his new school friends and left Little Prince to his own devices. Instead of having a huge tantrum or demanding to go home, Little Prince came and played with Princess Lollipop in the toddler play section. He was the PERFECT big brother, he helped her up the steps to the slide, held a huge swinging ball out of her way and then helped her down the big step to the slide. Then when some older boys came running in the toddler section he put himself between her and them, to prevent them bumping or hurting her. Then she claimed a ball as her own, and got upset when she dropped it down the slide steps and another child picked it up, without a moment's hesitation he ran and got her another one. Then he kept a close eye on her and everytime she dropped her ball again he dived to get it before any other child could touch it. He has always been a lovely big brother, but he went above and beyond at the party, I am so proud of him :-)
