I have a little delima, and it's starting to get worse. My son, who turns 4 years old in 12 days, is starting to realize the importance of "birthdays", as some of the kids his age are having them now.
That's right.... he was born on Christmas day. Not exactly a good day to try to get kids to come over to your house to celebrate huh? Even the area surrounding his birthday is not a good time, as people go on vacations, etc... so there won't be many kids around.
This year is a bummer - He's been in Texas with my wife for the past few months, and even though he is "new" to the area, the kids in his dayschool class have had a few parties, and he has been invited (and he went) to them. He and my wife are flying back up for Christmas / his birthday, and we will celebrate both here - but only with family and friends.
I don't think it's much of a big deal at this age.... but it's going to start getting worse, I have a feeling. So, speaking to my wife, we think it's best to celebrate his birthday in future years either a little early or a little late, so that we can have his friends over for cake, ice-cream, moonwalks (those hot air jumping things that the kids love), etc...
Ideas?
All the best,
Glenn
