Animal baloon

I am sorry to say but I would have made the dieing mouse disappear. When she asked about it I would act dumb. Then get her mind on to something ele. She is young and very resilient at this age. Even though it is funny after a while remember not to laugh because it is not funny to her. With most three year olds out of site is out of mind.

I've gone through this kind of thing before too. I think in the end I felt worse over the balloon than they did! I don't know if this will help or if I just got lucky but this is what I did...I bought, for under $10, a balloon animal kit. It came with a bunch of balloons, a small pump and direction on how do twist the balloons. We had tons of fun with it. Here's the good part though, after 20 plus various animals, it wasn't a big deal anymore. They knew that if theirs popped or untwisted we could make a new one and it wasn't the end of the world. We even got to a point where they would ASK to undo one so we could do something else with it. The ones that are easiest are the four legged critters. If you make a dog with an extra long neck, it becomes a giraffe. Long nose...a horse. Long tail...can pass for a cat. You can't really mess up! Mice are pretty good too, mine always had giant ears though. Hope your little girl feels better soon!
