ABOOOOOOOUT, FACE!!
Thanks for all the comments... you have given me a new perspective: this party is about Red. I sat down with him, we talked some things over and now this party has gone from pretty cool to being insanely cool because we're doing the things he wants to do! In my excitement to try and uncover some new friendships I totally skipped over the most basic and important aspect of this party: to celebrate one utterly amazing kid! So, no candy bars (which, I wouldn't have done anyway ;)) and I'll try to relax a tad. And if he makes some friends a long the way, that will be a great bonus, but that is not why we are partying!
I'll post pictures of this crazy part on Saturday or Sunday. I know you're just DYING to see...
I'm sure it will be a fantastic party. You are so right about the best part of the party--a celebration of HIM!!!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the pictures.
I love it. You go girl!!
ReplyDeleteI'm waiting for the pictures!!!
I am totally dying to see. Yay you for being the best mom ever!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the party....
ReplyDeleteOn a side note, about Laren's cookie experience- I'm putting that on my list of things to remember NOT to do to my kids.
Positively giddy with anticipation, waiting to see the fun party pictures later...
ReplyDeleteHope it's fun, hon. As long as HE has a good time, it's all good. Remember, not everyone is destined to have tons of friends. Lots of people go through their lives with just 1 or 2 close friends. He may not have made those close ones yet... As long as HE'S fine with it, it'll be ok.
ReplyDeleteBut I know: We all want our babies to have friends. Hope he connects with some nice kids.
Happy Birthday Red!
i'll anxiously be waiting by my computer :] have fun. and happy birthday, red.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you'll all have a great time. Waiting for the pics . . .
ReplyDeletefun!! can't wait to see the photos.
ReplyDeletePS the candy bar bribe would've totally worked on me. for just about anything. fyi.
I AM dying to see it. Because with a mama like you,it is bound to be a smashing success!
ReplyDeleteSheesh, I miss one day of reading and I'm already behind.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you got it all figured out and I do look forward to the pictures.
Yes, I AM dying to see the pictures! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm waiting for another royal icing creation. I'm assuming no tiaras for Red but maybe a nice army helmet or something.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Red!
You're a good mom, Melissa. After several years of people RSVPing and not showing up which cost me time and money, we have since forbidden birthday parties.
