A Princess Party

Having a young boy of school ages brings a lot of new things for a family. For instance, a new kind of social life for both the child and parents: Wolfie has new friends, or at least knows more children his age who will become his friends, and we have started knowing their parents and hanging out with them. Well, hanging out might be taking things a bit far: we had a few meetings in a public park and we are members of an online chat group with parents whose children have started reception at the same school. So anyway, we have now been invited to the first birthday party of the year. A little girl who is turning five will have her birthday this weekend and all the children in her class AND their parents are invited. And it will be a "princess party", where girls are coming disguised as princesses (talk about gender stereotype), but boys are thankfully invited too. Wolfie was not thrilled. Then we managed to convince him that there will be plenty of food (i.e. cake), so he warmed up to the idea. And there will be food and drink(s) for the parents, so I won't complain.
