kinda broke my heart ...

It was Al's birthday and "helper Mom" day at school

School is where I see our biggest challenges

 Al

Didn't want to sit for circle time

Wouldn't sing "take me out to the ballgame"
Sat in his "spot" apart from his class and looked at books

Didn't want to participate in table work or craft

Al sat in the corner for all of this and played alone
with a Mister Potato Head

It broke my heart when he didn't want his school friends
to sing him happy birthday

It sucked - but only for me 
Al was fine
