Party Girl


Earlier this week I received a phone call from the mother of another 3rd-grader at Cecilia's school to invite Cici to his upcoming birthday party. This call was amusing for a few reasons. They are:

  • The boy (Felix) has never been in class with Cici. They go to the same school - yes - but don't actually have classes together. They once encountered each other at a park, had fun running around and playing, but that's it. She's since been invited to his house to play, just the two of them.
  • The mother also wanted to let me know that Cici would be the only girl and to make sure that she would still feel comfortable if she was the only girl. Cici doesn't notice stuff like this (at least not yet).
  • This is not the first time I've gotten a call from a parent asking if it was okay that Cici was the only girl at a party. The first time it happened was Kindergarten.
Cecilia just is who she is and likes what she likes, and it's one reason that she's never had problem making friends: girls AND boys.

And I love love love love love that about her.
