Tough Decision for Your 7th Birthday

This is the toughest decision I have to make for you so far: whether we are going to celebrate your 7th birthday at school or not. Since your 4th birthday, we always did that. I really enjoyed doing it and it gave me a feeling of being a good mom.

There are several considerations why I think we don’t need to celebrate your birthday at school this year

There is only one consideration why I think we should: I don’t want you to feel disappointed.

Tough, ain’t it?
