Oh fun and games at the weekend. Megs was invited to yet another birthday party, this time run by a mother who last year was very considerate Megs needs so I didn't go armed with back up. Oh, when will I learn.
We arrived a bit late as Megs on a downer but she still wanted to go so we got there 5 minutes before lunch. The mum had said she had ordered megs some spaghetti, which was great and fine except that all 25 other kids had pizza. Megs is just starting to be aware of when she has to be different so she became quite withdrawn and cuddly, especially as at least 6 around her all asked why she had spaghetti. Then this was followed up by chocolate ice cream and no options. So Meg sat politely watching them all munch. After a while she mellowed and joined in the party with face painting etc. she was just beginning to enjoy herself when the party favour bags were handed out at going home time. They only had sweets in them and she was told there wasn't one for her as she couldn't eat them.
Bless her, she was so grown up, she didn't make a murmer but I was so upset for her although I tried not to let her see.
Mother must learn, always go with back up.
