The boy has a party to go to tomorrow, for one of his nursery friends. When he asked this morning if it was soft play (his preferred type of party) or games (very much his second choice as he is still a bit young to understand all the “rules” of the more advanced ones) I didn’t know so like the wonderful mum I am (not) I googled the venue. Turns out the places specialises in themed events including cheer leading parties, hair and nail parties, even Mamma Mia! parties. The mind boggles. So, I get to spend another Saturday morning making polite conversation with a bunch of other mums while he does his thing, whatever that is. I’m not always good at this, especially when the conversation turns to their holiday homes abroad or what restaurant they’re going to that evening, however I have sussed out a couple of really nice people who I’m more than happy to get to know better over the years if I get the chance, thank goodness. Still, part of me will be glad when that part of the weekend is over.
