About a month ago, I asked you for your opinions on whether Dar was ready for Star Wars. I never got around to posting any kind of a decision, but it became clear that one of the only reasons I was hesitating was that I felt kind of weird about excluding Margo. And that’s not really a very good reason. (More on that in a minute.)
Then, a good friend of ours, who has a son who’s about to turn 10, let us know that Dar had made the invitee list for the birthday party…and that the party would be held at this store…and that the party’s theme would be, well, you guessed it.
On the upside, the timing is perfect; now we have a deadline, and that means it’ll actually happen. On the downside, Dar is fully aware that this means it has to happen soon, and she’s not exactly shying away from asking me about it.
The weekend evenings between now and the birthday party are all booked. But this Friday is a half day at school, and we figure she can be a little tired. So Thursday night is the big event.
I think I can sell it to Margo by reminding her that she’s got a big day on Friday afternoon: going to another branded toy store and picking up this year’s sole present from Mom and me. We wouldn’t want her to be too tired to enjoy the day…
