Important questions to ask before going to a party

by Jaden:
Will they have party hats?
Will they have cakes?
Will boys be there?
Will there be presents?
Will my friends be there?
Can mommy come with me?

Jaden is taking an early nap right now, so that she can get up in time to go with Aunt Amy. Aunt Amy is coming at 1:00 PM to pick her up. Amy has a girl slumber party planned, and she invited Jaden. Jaden was asking so many questions last night- trying to find out the details of the party. Goodness! I guess she can't just wait and see. She has to know before she goes.

Yes, we went to a party last night, and Emma wanted to know if there would be a pinata.

(No, no pinata. It was a grown-up birthday party. But she got to sing in a microphone and there WAS cake. And balloons.)

I think it's a comfort thing at that age, asking whether or not things will match your previous experiences.
