The title of this post might seem a little confusing but you need to understand that all of Ryan’s friends are Madeline’s friends. She really truly believes that they come over to play with her and Ryan. There is no such thing as just Ryan’s friends. All of Ryan’s friends are great about it – they love Madeline and think that she is quite fun.
You have to see it in action to believe but she can really keep up. If Ryan gets upset and tells his friends to go up to his room to close the door she freaks and cries. She feels leftout. The point I am trying to make here was that Madeline couldn’t have a birthday without Ryan’s friends but at the same time we couldn’t really invite them to Madeline’s birthday party as that whole age gap thing. In the end we decided to have a birthday party for Madeline for Ryan’s friends.
It worked! Ryan had a lot of fun and Madeline felt really special!
