This year we had to buy a ton of Valentines. Jude had a party in preschool. Karenna had a party in daycare, a party in kindergarten, and a dance class on Valentine's day.
Jude's been having trouble adjusting to his sister not doing things at the same time as him now that she is school-aged. Karenna's kindergarten party was a day earlier than Jude's party, so naturally he was upset. Chris, Karenna, and I kept reminding him, "Karenna's Valentines party is Thursday. Your Valentines party is Friday."
Finally when the day arrived, I took him into preschool and handed his teacher his snack and Valentines.
Jude: It's my party day.
Me: I know.
Jude: How old am I today?
Me: Jude, it's not your birthday. It's Valentines Day.
Jude: I know! It's not my Star Wars party; it's my Valentines party.
Preschool Boy: Jude, it's everybody's party.
Jude: No, it's not! [turning to me] Mom, you guys said Friday is my party day!
