birthday party

Today we went to a birthday party for a kid in Wiley's class. I was really torn about going or not because the kid is kinda mean to Wiley. He's really big and aggressive, often hitting Wiley or saying mean things to him. York's noticed it and said it's all unprovoked. This kid's parents are very different from us. Like, they have a 1 1/2 year old who is special needs, and she laid in her pack and play the whole two hour birthday party, laying on her back. Archer talked to the poor kiddo more than anyone else. And it's not like the pack and play was in the middle of stuff, it was waaaay off to the side and no one was around. So, that's me being all judgemental and has nothing to do with anything. None of the other kids in his class were at the party, which was weird, too. When we got there the boy came up to Wiley and knocked Wiley on the head the way you'd knock on a door, all McFly like, making some silly comment to him. Wiley declined to play games with him and instead sat and drew two pictures for him. But Wiley was so sweet to the boy (who did go to timeout in the middle of his party for hitting Wiley) at one point when all the kids lined up to play a game Wiley was in the front of the line and without any cues from anyone turned to the boy and said, "A, would you like to go first since it's your party?" While Wiley was eating his pizza at the kids table he turned to the boy and said, "A, this is a really good party." He's just a kind hearted kiddo, and I'm super proud of him.
