Matthew got an invitation to a swimming party. Usually the invite is for "both" boys, this is the first time I can think of that only Matthew was invited.
I'm happy for Matthew, but Joshua is just crushed. I told him we'd go do something special during the party.
In their defense, I can see why it might not be a good idea to have a smaller boy at a swimming party with a bunch of possibly rowdy older kids.
Hey, gives you some one on one time, in any case. I know I always loved being able to do something with just me and Mom once in awhile when I was little, even if it was just running in for a carton of milk!
