The part about Emma crying multiple times at the party – and then saying she had a great time – made me laugh. My Jonathan used to do that – we’d go on a play date and he’d cry and complain and then beg to do it again.
[...] Andrea detailed her day according to the clock. She thought it would be interesting for me to do the same. [...]
