Vy (Eliza and Bruce’s daughter) wanted to invite some friends for her birthday and she wanted to have the party at Chuck E. Cheese in Huntington Beach (15511 Edwards St, Huntington Beach, CA 92647).
William & I arrived a bit early; we waited at the table because he refused to go play: he wanted to wait until everyone got here. 10 minutes later everybody showed up, now William was willing to go play! But …
Sophia (his 3 years old niece ) also came. He kept following her everywhere she went. I asked why, he said “Little children is not supposed to play in here!”. I told him this place is for everyone, but he did not listen: some times he would sit on the table next to the game that Sophia was playing and watched. There was 1 time Sophia got in the little school bus, he got inside also and sat on the back! Sophia’s mom (Hang) did not like that, I could tell.
William stopped following Sophia when everyone went to the table and had lunch; we sat on the next table which was a bit far from Sophia; and I distracted him by giving him the iPad. That worked because he enjoyed watching the videos and eating pizza in our booth. Some times I wanted to take pictures of Vy and her friends so I went to the main table, he went to look for me 2 times, but the rest of the time he’d sit at our table watching his movies; did not care much about the going on birthday party.
Weird behaviors like this make me feel sad, this is exactly the reason we can’t take him to any friends events, with family is ok because everyone is more tolerance, but other people would not understand. I felt sad thinking about how lonely he’d be without having any friends.
