Birthday of Terror

Matilda went to the birthday party of one of her best buds this weekend and it turned out to be a bit worrisome. Not only were there balloon decorations (popping them is a new recent fear), but the overly excitable magician-unicyclist man was making everyone balloon animals that the kids were carrying around and terrorizing Matilda. Each time someone would run by clutching a newly made dog/frog/giraffe balloon sculpture, M would leap up my leg and claim she wanted to go home. The formal "show" was equally nerve-wracking for M, who saw no humor in the magician's balloon jokes and falling-off-unicycle schtick. The fun part was that she got to dress up to comply with the theme and choose to wear her ladybug dress with wings and braid-antennae. She also had her bug-eye goggles on at one point but they didn't last long.
The marzipan bees off of the cake were also a highlight for M.
