Birthday Parties

Week two of nursery, and Olivia has already been invited to 3 birthday parties! Im thinking this could be quite pricey, depending on how many parties she is invited to over the course of her time at Church High.  I was able to get a really cute Cath Kidston purse and handbag for £10.50. So that takes care of one little gift.  I also got a stamp set and sticker book for another little girl, whose party is tomorrow.  One of the parties is a joint party, and I think we will have to miss that one.  Im really nervous about tomorrows party. It will be interesting how it goes and how the other mums are.  I am trying my hardest to build Olivia up and to support her during difficult times. I think friendships is going to be one of these areas. Olivia seems so shy and unsure of herself at times. At home she is so confident. As well, at church events. But in new surroundings she crumbles.  I need wisdom on how to support her through this!
