bratty birthday party

i'm so sad.

we just came home from a birthday party.

the birthday boy got a ton of stuff. he opened each gift by either tossing the contents from the bag or ripping the paper from the box and then just taking a quick glance at what was inside. one after another. again, and again, and again. my son picked up the gifts that he had chosen for him and held onto them while birthday boy slammed through the rest of his gifts. when he was finished, c asked if birthday boy wanted to look at the superhero book he got him. birthday boy was too engrossed in flashing toy to look at my boy.

birthday boy also sat and sulked until present unwrapping time.

so, so sad. my boy is unscathed, but i am not.
