The resiliency of the little ones is astounding. It pains me the most when I have to say to my son “sorry it’s closed” or “they don’t have it” for certain things that he’s looking forward to. We can’t give into all of the whims of them but the important ones like the gluten free burger for small steps is one of those important ones and it is difficult to have to break it to them. They so often though are looking on the brighter side and I want to try to foster that as long as we can, like I’m sure you and the wife do.
I’m glad she had a wonderful trip! It’s good to get away like that and even the small day trips are crucial. It keeps us sane for sure!
We try, but it is difficult at times. She has become more aware that she is missing out on a lot of things, especially as she spends more time with friends. Everything becomes a learning experience for her - but it would be nice if there were more often things that were just fun.
