When it comes to celebrating a toddler’s birthday, it’s important to know your child’s personality. Princess is a social butterfly and loves parties. Her little brother, on the hand, is the complete opposite. He’d rather have something simple, than a big birthday party.
We decided to do something different. We started the day with opening presents. We then headed to the Long Island’s Children’s Museum followed by a lobster bake. Our neighbors invited us and offered to give us a tour of their family’s boat.
Even though he had a lot of fun, I do wonder if he’ll look back at photos years from now and wonder why he didn’t have a big birthday celebration like his sister. I’ll just tell him that a party doesn’t measure the unconditional love we have for him.
Besides, his birthday celebration isn’t over. We plan on having family over for cake and continue with his birthday celebration into next month. Stay tuned for details and more pics.
Do you always celebrate your kids birthday with a big party?
So sweet! We do something different every year it seems. It’s hard on my oldest though because her birthday is in the summer and everyone is gone on vacation. One year we were! As long as they feel special, that’s all that matters.
Happy Birthday little (big) man!
Thanks TIff. That’s a great point. Both my kids were born in summer. Parties are hit or miss with a lot of peeps on vacay.
Happy birthday to your little guy. We recently celebrated 2 years of fun at our house as well. It was totally low key but he had a blast. At the end of the day, that’s what’s most important.
Yes. Low is just a good, and maybe even better than a big bash (depending on the child). Happy Birthday to Sun Ray!
