emma_in_dreamPearl’s party went well, I think. I always get incredibly nervous before parties and it is even more nerve-wracking hosting a child’s party because you can’t tell when someone is going to have a melt down or give voice to power plays which would be left implicit at adult parties.
Pearl really enjoyed it and liked showing off her bedroom to the girls from school. She also enjoyed running about in the common area at those times when it was not raining too hard.
Most of the kids enjoyed themselves (not sure about a couple of introverts from school who seemed a bit overwhelmed). Pearl was very polite, even when she received three copies of the same Forget-me-not Fairies book.
My favourite food: rainbow fruit salad. How cool is that?
Pearl’s favourite food: Marshmallows.
My favourite present that Pearl received: The Rosie the Riveter picture book.
Pearl’s favourite present: A flying fairy.
My greenest achievement that was not noticed: Instead of plastic I used china plates (20cents each from the op shop).
My greenest achievement that was (unfavourably) noticed: One of the girls commented that there was very little in the party bags. True, because what I included was a fair trade woollen finger puppet rather than plastic junk.
