Party pooper
I’m a few years away from having my own children (God willing), but all these kiddie parties I’ve been attending lately have got me thinking. I’ve been to some elaborate birthday parties for kids turning a year old, and I’m beginning to wonder if I’m the type who would throw such a party for my future one-year-old. I keep thinking, the kid won’t remember a thing! But I’m trying to understand that it’s something mommies and daddies really want to celebrate. “It’s really for the parents,” a friend of mine reasoned. I kind of agree with her about throwing a big seventh-birthday party. At least by then, the kid would have some idea about what’s going on! (I remember my sixth birthday party quite fondly.)
I don’t know. Perhaps my views would change once I have a one-year-old of my own.
