lame, but a huge relief

DD1 is very shy and introverted.  She's slow to make friends and got put into a first grade class this year with only one of the girls from her K class.  We've had a couple of playdates with one girl who she really likes, but since DH and I both work, it is hard to make them happen.  DD1 has never been invited to this girl's house, despite her mom offhandedly saying several times she wanted to have DD1 over.  Mom friended me on FB a couple of months ago and I've recently seen her talking about her DD's birthday party.  My heart was breaking for her thinking that DD1 wasn't invited.  Well, DD1 got an invite yesterday!  The party is still a few weeks away!!  I'm so thrilled for DD1 and sooo relieved.  I would have been so sad to have her heard at school that friend is having a party and she's not invited.  I know that day will come.  But for now, I can have my happy, delightful kid stay that way a bit longer.

I hope she has fun and it paves the way for some play dates!

I vote not lame, and understandably a relief! We can't shelter them from everything, but I'm glad your DD has a friend.

Not lame at all! I'm glad she got an invite. I worry so much about stuff like this in the future. DD is definitely going to be shy and introverted like me and I know what a struggle it is.
