Matthew had a wonderful time at his Royal Birthday Ball today. He was so happy to see his preschool friends from last year. All of the girls had beautiful dresses on and the boys were handsome princes.

Matthew couldn't wait until it was time to eat his special royal pudding. He ate every last bite and even licked the cup clean. After all of the presents were opened, everyone went to the tumble gym.

Matthew didn't want to stay very long in there and ended up getting hurt on the way out. He was kicked in the chest and belly by his friend who was swinging on a rope. He flipped and fell and his bag of lollipops broke open. It took him a few moments to catch his breath and after resting in the other room for a few minutes, he felt better. Other than that, he had a blast.
