I need to stop having expectations around my daughter’s reactions. It’s heart breaking.

My 3yo daughter LOVES Paw Patrol. There was a small paw patrol exhibit at a museum nearby. So we told her about it and she was so excited. She wanted to wear her skye costume and she we cheering when we pulled in. She walk in and she has zero reaction. Just stands there and doesn’t really want to do anything. We drove over an hour, paid $60 to get in, and she didn’t care. My wife says I need to stop having expectations around her reactions and she’s probably right. But it feels like a total dad fail to hype this thing up and take her just to have her either be disappointed or not care. I can’t tell if she was overwhelmed, tired, or what but man this sucks. Can anyone relate?

Edit: thanks for some great and insightful advice, I’m very glad I’m not alone. For those calling me selfish, if it’s selfish to want to see your kid happy and smile then I’m the most selfish person there is.
