Party Time

So today was the big party day. Both boys were so excited to eat all of the junk food at the parties.Great-sugar high for all.I was incharge of Cam's party so I could not just follow him around taking pictures. I got this one pic of him making the bookmark we did and the one I took of us playing Valentines BINGO ofcourse did not turn out. So this was basically the only picture I got of him today.I so wanted to get pics of him eating pizza and cupcakes with his friends or when he played pin the tongue on the frog game but I was stuck at the center today.Not complaining. I do enjoy helping in his class just disappointed at all the pics I missed. I missed him passing out all his valentines to all his friends and writing a story at journaling center.I know I won't be able to take pics of everything, but its so hard when I was right there-just detained.Cam's party was from 12:30 to 2:15 and then it was clean up time. Then I ran a few doors down to catch the end of Bay's party. I got off just a few shots of him playing Valentines Bingo and all the junk he was eating before it was clean up time. I felt bad that I couldn't help at Bays party but I had already promised Cam's teacher I could run his (considering I am head room mom I had to do it) Next year, I am just being room mom for both classes. They both brought home a bag full of cards and junk-wonderful.

Mrs. Douglas came over to me while I was taking pics of Bay and told me a little story of what had happened at lunch today. Poor baby. Well, today was his day to buy hot lunch and it was nachos and a cookie and milk. Well, him and another kid kind of bumped each other and the kid dumped his nachos on himself and quite a bit of the cheese landed on Bay's head and side of his face. Well, a large group of boys started laughing and pointing at him and making fun of him. He was mortified and so embarrrassed that his first response was that he started to cry. So, I guess he just kind of stood there and there were tears streaming down his face and he just did not know what to do. He was crying pretty hard until someone finally came over to help. How sad is that? I almost teared up when she was telling me this. This isn't the first time he has cried at school (he cried a few months back when he farted in class and everybody made fun of him)I asked him what had happened and he kind of relayed the same story. I wanted to kind of talk about it a little and let him know instead of getting embarrassed and sad, to actually learn how to laugh at yourself and turn it into a funny memory instead of an embarrassing and sad one.But he did not really want to talk about it anymore.I know it is a hard thing to laugh at yourself-I have a hard time doing it. I know he gets this side from me. It is something I would have reacted to just the same way but I want him to be able to change the way he reacts to it-like I wish I could do.Well, needless to say he has been very loving to me today. He actually gave me hugs and kisses today infront of his classmates and the mommies that were helping. Which is a huge deal because I can hardly get a nod when we are out in public let alone a hug.So I think he was feeling pretty vulnerable. I ofcourse loved getting all the hugs and kisses but that is about over now.Oh well.Well, they have gotten to bed really late the last few nights so it is time to go tuck in the little buggies.Night for now.
