Three years ago, I was so excited about my baby's first birthday. My husband sent a couple of dollars for me to choose where to celebrate, but I don't know where and what kind kind of program to do. Then I remembered my old school where I started kinder garden, we visited the place and talked to the teachers. Luckily they agreed knowing that I was from their school, the day of celebration came. We prepared food for more than 100 people (good for 2 classrooms including the whole faculty). I was surprised that the kids prepared a program for my baby and there my kiddo loves the place so much and as a mother I want to give everything that keeps my baby happy. What's your birthday experience with your kid?

I always prepare something for my daughter's special day. I wanted to give her the birthday celebration that i never had when i was like her age. She was now 3 and we just finished celebrating her birthday last Aug 31. I have a pool party for her. Though she didn't like swimming but I know she enjoyed watching her cousins swimming and sliding in the kids pool party area.

Hi, My son's first and second birthday party was at my hometown, we celebrated with my family members. Just have s simple dinner treat at one of local restaurant and cake cutting party. Pretty simple party but everyone were very happy. Then for his third birthday party, we have it at my husband's hometown here. My mother in law cooked most of the food and we also have the celebration at home. After the lunch, we followed by cake cutting and that's it for the day. I don't wish to have such grant birthday party for my son as he is too young to understand it,a simple celebration is more than enough, the most important is everyone is happy.

I didn't really spend a lot of money on that first birthday. Many of my relatives are very excited about that birthday so, they contributed things that I may not be able to afford and what I only prepared was the money for the food. Till now, I'm still excited thinking that next year is another birthday for my kid.
