David eventually came in from the hall.
He got a red cape, which he chose not to put on at the time, and a book of photos, which he did peruse. He did not do the superhero dance. But, he did not insist he was staying in kangaroo room forever and ever.

Afterwards, he ate his dinner at the all school party and played. He got a balloon. On the way home, he talked about what balloon he was going to get next year. Rose, unfortunately, reminded him we weren't going to be there next year. I said we could always come back and visit. We all agreed to that.
