Happy Halloween (well, not so happy)

Today Rosie was having a Halloween party at school. She was quite excited about it and helped me to prepare the goody bags, chose the food she wanted to take and was very happy with her costume choice. Taking all of that into consideration you would think it would have been a banner day at school, no? And lets not forget Mummy and Daddy were invited to be at school all morning.

Here is cowgirl Rosie all ready to go to school. Notice the smiles cos this is the last time you will see them!
Here she is at school with "friend" and not looking very happy.


And here she is with her teacher and she's bawling her little heart out. (such a party animal)


After a quick dance session and a Halloween story it was time to get the party started with a little parade and some trick or treating. Is that a slight smile I detect or is it a grimace? Nope, it's a tiny bit of a smile.




After the parade we all went to the Fellowship Hall for a dance party and some Halloween songs. Rosie cried the whole time. She really doesn't like noise and it was noisy. She doesn't like a lot of people and it was full of people. She kept asking to go home. It was heartbreaking. Thankfully Daddy showed up a few minutes later and once we got back to her classroom she saw him and that helped.

Waiting for her food. All the kids were having a Happy Meal. Rosie has never had McD0nalds before....
This is what she thought of it. LOL
Finally we told her it was time to go home.....see that smile!


I'm hoping the rest of the weekends festivities don't upset her this much!
Having a child who is as sensitive as Rosie is so hard. One the one hand you want to cry with them but on the other, you know you have to toughen them. It's like walking a tight rope. I hate to see her so uncomfortable but she was with me the whole time it's not as if I dropped her off and left. Sigh. It's looking like a double chocolate day in this house.
