Update to the birthday party

Decision made - although the decision was really already made - I just needed some validation. CJ won't be attending the birthday party. If I could go with him, I wouldn't have any problem with it. But, because I can't and I don't know any other parents that will be, CJ won't go. Papa Chuck had a great idea for CJ to go spend the night at their house this weekend, so that's what he'll do. He wasn't upset about it, he was too excited to go spend the night at Papa and Grandma's house. I do feel bad for the birthday boy, hopefully other parents don't read the paper. I'm sure it all would be fine, but if something DID happen how would you rationalize that you knew but didn't care.
