To Party???


It is my son's 2nd birthday in a few weeks and I am wondering should I throw him a party?
see for the first birthday we had a party, and it was family only (mostly because we moved and friends that he made were three hours away). Now for his second birthday we are again in a new city and the question is: Do we party?

Here is what we can do in our own town:
have a picnic
rent a party room / restaurant space
have a brunch in our new place

I would invite mostly my friends who have kids of varying ages and maybe a couple of kiddos from his daycare, although to be honest I don't know who their parents are. And I know he has a couple of buddies and one is a biter.

two we can drive back to our home town and have a family party again.

OR... Here is the crazy one. NOT HAVE A PARTY!

hear me out, I am thinking he is two and he is not quite aware of what birthdays are and that his is coming up. he will know for sure when he is three and will likely choose a theme... please no Thomas, please no Thomas the Train!

But in a few weeks he will not know that he has aged another year, nor will he treat it as anything else but another day.

So perhaps for that day, we can have a small birthday. He can get a cupcake, he can get some plastic dinosaurs (right now he is really into dinosaurs) and a call from either Dora or The Paw Patrol. Thinking that is the way to go.

here is where one can sign up for the birthday call.
