Happy Birthdays

First birthdays are always a treat! Many children love the attention and parents have fun creating just the perfect atmosphere to celebrate this special day. Whether you are putting together a huge 1st birthday bash, or you are keeping it low key, anyway you choose to celebrate your child’s 1st birthday is a very special occasion.

Both of my children are celebrating their birthdays in the month of August; Josie is turing 2, and Rob is turing 1. We are planning on having a small party with friends (as our families are out of state) to celebrate both birthdays.

Both birthdays are occasion to celebrate … children grow up so quickly and sometimes in the day to day humdrum we can forget to focus on the ”right now” & before we know it our children have hit yet another milestone!!

As you begin to plan your young child’s birthday keep a few things in mind:

  • Large crowds can be overwhelming for a young child - so plan your party at a time when they are well rested
  • If you are serving food stick to easy foods that are kid friendly - especially if you plan on inviting other children
  • Designate someone to take photos - this way you are able to enjoy the party with your child

Whether you are planning your child’s 1st birthday or their 2nd, remember to have fun! For more information on party planning for your little one check out these sites:
