Block Party

Elijah's favorite show right now is Dinosaur Train. I don't know why, but he really loves it. Anyway, a few months ago one of the episodes was called "Block Party". The main dinosaur family invites all the other dinosaurs over so they can better learn about all the different dinosaurs. Since then Elijah has been fixed on having a block party. He keeps asking if we can have one, says he wants a "Block Party" Birthday (great) and so on. So when we got our invitation to our neighborhood's Christmas Block Party I ran straight to Elijah. He was pumped!!! He talked about it for days before we actually went.


Waiting for our hosts to answer the door, the excitement is overwhelming!!...


We were the youngest people there by about 30 years or more, but there was table of food, punch and a house decorated to the nines in Mickey Mouse Christmas so Elijah was thrilled. He headed straight for the food...

At one point some one came up and asked what their names were. I pointed to this one and said, "That is Mr Perfect"...






"...and that one is Little Miss Attitude" She was in rare form.





The problem was Red Punch and no sippy cup. One taste of the punch and she wanted nothing else. The problem was that I didn't have a sippy cup and she wanted to hold it herself. She can drink from a cup just fine, but with the punch if anyone even came close to her (and her brother sitting right next to her counts) she would jerk around and spill the punch. We were at a very nice house and she was sitting on a cream colored upholstered bar stool. No way. So when we took away the punch there was a melt down.




Where did Elijah go? Oh yeah, Mr Perfect is sitting quietly in the corner admiring the Mickey Mouse tree...


If we ever get invited back after Sadie's attitude I know Elijah will be excited!!
