In a few short weeks, we will soon have a four year old in the house. He already acts much older than his current age because he has an older sister and, well he just doesn't act his age. He has been reading for almost a year now so that alone makes him a bit more mature than many his age. He hasn't had a birthday party ever since his 1st birthday when he practically cried the entire time. We had a barbeque at our home complete with friends, family, music, and a nice buffet. The theme then was Curious George. He still cried.
This is the invitation he chose - $7.00 which was personalized by Etsy shop OMG! Candies & Events
with his photo (sample shown is not my son's actual invitation)
Last year we celebrated with just our immediate family with a trip to see "Day Out with Thomas" Pennsylvania. He LOVED the entire experience. We were able to keep it from him until Thomas rode across the tracts as we approached the train station. Now that he's turning four, we decided to have another birthday party at a The Little Gym in Merrick. A little less than a year ago, he took classes there and loved the entire experience. The owners and staff were great with the kids, the venue was clean, and I even considered enrolling my son into the summer camp program. By the time I was ready to enroll him in the summer program, classes were booked.
I'm not sure if I'll do the cupcake topper thing. For as much work as it takes putting them together, it kinda ticks me off to see them plucked out of the pastry and tossed on the table. |
How cute is this? |
He will be excited waking up to this on his bedroom wall. Hmmm.... - $8.00 |
- Guest list will include children from preschool and friends
- Ages of the invited guests will be -2/+2 years from the birthday child (with a few exceptions)
