birthday countdown...

I can sense your excitement and your son's excitement for his upcoming birthday. How old will he be on the 30th? Now I understand that a mother's happiness always lies on the happiness of her children and I salute you for that for I can say not all mothers are like you. Will your son be having a big party on the 30th? Do greet your son a happy and wonderful birthday from me. be happy always!!!

My son use to love it when I worked on Christmas because it meant we would celebrate Christmas early. He loved it if I had to work Christmas and Christmas Eve because it meant we celebrated Christmas around the 22 or 23. I worked 12 hour night shifts so I went to work and came home and slept.

happy birthday to your beloved son! how old will he be on his birthday? are you planning anything special for him? anyway i hope you and your family will have a fabulous time celebrating your son's birthday!

it teaches them patience & other things to have to wait for their day. i think u are being smart for waiting. u wouldn't give him his christmas prescent in july, lol. i think that boy is smart, he's playing you. lol aren't they a trip, i love it.

I don't have a child of my own yet but I do understand the excitement your feeling towards your son's birthday. We are having a countdown on our own for the very first birthday of my niece whose birthday is on February 14, Valentine's Day. We are so excited about it and we want to make it as fabulous as possible since it is her first birthday. As early as now, we are already planning the sequence of events and what we are going to do on her party. Really, birthdays of our loved ones makes us happy for having a fruitful year and a wish of good luck for the coming years.

That is adorable! It's good that you're being strict about when he receives his gifts because it teaches him patience, obedience and reasoning. I'm not a mother but I have a niece who stays with us and he's also pretty hyped up when his birthday approaches, he keeps reminding everybody and tells them what he likes without actually asking for anything :D he's very clever! Thanks for the response on my discussion!

Awwhhh sweet! Wishing the little one a happy birthday in advance. Nhey, I think you are right. he must know that there is time for everything and gifts are for special occasions. He would get the maximum fun then only. I do not have a kid but I have seen my sisters planning for my nieces' and nephew's birthdays long before. They are so excited that they become kids themselves. Indeed its most special!

My daughter will be turning 3 this April... but she doesn't have that sort of concept yet... but she knows how to sing happy birthday to herself already... i think you are doing the right thing on not buying him the gift in advance... since that would defeat the purpose of gift giving during important events... and the 30th is just a few days aways... so the excitement will intensify... but when the time comes... for sure your son will appreaciate it that you did not give the gift in advance...

First of all, wish a very Happy Birthday from my behalf my daughter is 3 years old now and she is of course so very excited about getting gifts, but she always waits for her gifts, if we say her we are going to give it on her birthday, she waits until her birthday or christmas day or any other special ocassaions, she keeps counting the days and asks at least once a day, "Ma, has my B'day not yet come", but i have the habit of giving her gifts the whole week before the particular special day, so she is even more excited, but knows to stay calm, at her age, i think she is quite understanding and responsible

My youngest son's birthday is tomorrow, January 26th. Although he will be 25 years old on Monday, he's still very excited about his birthday. He always has been. Both of my sons were like yours when they were younger. They always got so excited as their birthdays neared. My youngest son is so anxious right now that he was hoping that I'd buy him an "early birthday present" the last time we went out shopping together, which was this past Wednesday. They used to make out a list of the things they wanted for their birthdays. These lists would sometimes be VERY long! LOL They were always anxious for a large party with all of their friends, too. I took them all to a place we have here called Chuck-e-Cheese, where they have tons of games for kids to play and earn tokens that they can trade in for toys. They also sell pizza there. I took my youngest son there one year, along with all his friends. I'll NEVER do that again! Whew!!! It was a madhouse with all those kids running all over the place, playing one game after another, constantly coming back for me to buy them more tokens to play more games to win more tokens, etc. etc. I left there with such a huge headache! LOL But, they all had great fun. My oldest son hasn't really been excited about birthdays for years now. He'll be 28 in June and feels like "an old man". But, we have a small party for him every year, too. I think he secretly loves the fuss I make on his birthday, but he tries very hard not to give that away. So, your son is an Aquarian, huh? Good luck! If yours is typical, he's a great thinker, I'm sure. He's also a very thoughtful boy. Mine was and still is. I even wrote a short story about him called, "Living With a Young Tornado" because of his antics. Have fun on your son's birthday! I hope he can wait until then for his toy!

Hey there Nhey16 It was my son's 8th birthday on the 6th January so close to Christmas. Mind you I was lucky becuase he was due on the 26 December which might have been worse! I was probably more excited than he was as I couldn't wait to see the picture on his face when he opened all his gifts. It also means that now I can take my kids swimming because before they wouldn't allow me to take any more than 2 children under the age of 8 but now he is 8 I can take him and his two younger brothers!!

I don't have child , but for your child HAPPY BIRTH DAY in Advance thanks for sharing

wishing your son a very happy birthday in advance... hope you have a blast on that day....and yes, about the gift,..let him wait til the moment...i am sure he'll be happy when he get to see his gift..:-)

My older kids also do that birthday countdown! But I can say, I'm lucky enough that they do not ask me any birthday gift! They simply count the days down! nothing more..... They never expect me any material gifts for their birthday! This is because, they know I have nothing to give! I do not have a good/stable job! Moreover, they know that they already receive the most special gift I can give them.... TENDER LOVE AND SWEET CARESS! Though I am away from them, they can still feel my presence... They are still loved in my simple ways!

I am not a father yet but happy birthday for your son in advance , and all the best for you to take care of him, I would like to say regarding this situtation is you better dont give him gifts till the D day, but on the day give him lot of gifts on his birthday , that is because he will also understand the happiness in his birthday

I hope that he has a very nice birthday. I agree that he should wait until his special day to get his gift. My daughter also wants things before her special day but she will be 17 next month.

that is so so so cute but sometimes annoying. i have a 14 year old daugther and she will be celebrating her birthday next month. she keeps reminding me taht her birthday is next month already. as if i will forget it. i dont know what does she mean by reminding it to me, but when i ask she will just answer nothing just reminding you . it gives me headaches lol.

I'm not a mom yet but i can feel how excited you are for the upcoming birthday of your little one.. i can't blame your son for being so excited to get his advance birthday gift but you have your point..=) happy birthday in advance to your son!
