So my oldest son will turn 3 on Halloween. Yes, October 31st is his official birthday. I remember the day fondly... the maternity ward nurses were dressed in costume.....mine, in a devil costume. An omen?? Sometimes, when he hasn't had a nap and is hungry.. i think maybe.
Actually, (here comes the gushing) he's a really great kid. Funny, cute, loving, and, just like his mother, FULL of attitude. That's the funny thing about kids.... they make you realize how bad YOU were at that age.
So, when I asked him this week if he wanted a birthday party... of course he gave a resounding "Yes Mommy!" Let the headache begin.
Maybe someone with a holiday birthday can help me out here...What should I do with this?? A Halloween theme? Ignore Halloween? Go strictly Birthday?? I don't know.
I realize, right now, he won't know the difference.... but a few years from now, will he resent me for sentencing him to a lifetime of costume party birthdays?
Unfortunately I have two holiday children. My youngest was born four days after Christmas... I am already taking the Exedrin for that. Trying to convince family to come to his 1st birthday party, right between Christmas and New Years.
So what do you think?? Costumes or no costumes?? Orange and Black balloons? Or Red, Blue and Yellow??
I'll ask for advice on the next birthday later.
