I'm Not Throwing a Birthday Party for My 1-Year-Old
I should be preparing for a big first-birthday party for the darling little earthy-eyed love who has so enriched my life, right? Er ... no.Abby is my fourth kid if you count the steps, and my second if you count ones that came out of me. I missed Max and Eli’s first birthdays , obviously (that would have been awkward). When my first daughter Penelope turned 1, I had a pile of presents that dwarfed her, wrapped in paper that I hand-decorated myself. The following weekend, we rented a picnic table at the local rec center, and a crowd of people showed up -- mostly adults -- and we chatted and drank mimosas while the babies crawled around eating sand. I’m about to post this story and then make her some lemon cupcakes with lemon-curd frosting, then bring them out to a playground and take pictures of her shoving one in her mouth. (I have the same picture of Penelope, with a pumpkin cupcake.) We’ll all sing, “help” blow out the candle, and have a great day, during which I’ll dissolve into tears several times because I’m so grateful for my wonderful family.
We just have local family - grandparents and one great grandma - come over for dinner and cake. It is fun, and quiet! The baby doesn't care about the presents. We usually get them one small ($5) thing, and the grandparents get them stuff. But that is it. My oldest turned five last year and he had two friends over for his birthday dinner and cake. That was the first 'party' we have had.
This June, BooBoo turned 1year and we had a small family get together at my parent's house. It was really nice, my husband and our BooBoo, my parents, grandpa, sister and niece all ate chicken spaghetti and had cake. He got so many gifts. I know he had fun! It was a good reason to get together as a family and have a meal and a visit.True Labor Versus Braxton Hicks Contractions - News
