Kid’s Birthday Parties
So my son will be turning three at the end of the month and we are in full swing planning his birthday.
Traditionally, we have parties at home because we are old-fashioned that way. My wife and I remember playing the silly games like whistling with a mouth full of crackers or pin the tail on the donkey, and we want to make sure our kids have the same memories.
So Piers is having a trucks and digger party and my wife is just amazing at coming up with games and decorations, it will be a lot of fun. With our older child, Hope, we kind of backed into a rule where she invites as many people to her party as she is years old. When she turned three was the first time she wanted to have friends over and she invited three, the next year she just assumed she could invite only four kids and we just agreed with her. It has acutally turned out to be a perfect match as the number of children at the house is controllable and Hope still has the freedom to choose who she wants at her party. I figure the parents of the other children in her Kindergarten class appreciate it too as that is one less party they have to attend (except of course for the ones Hope invites).
