Timmy was so excited on Sunday. He keeps a small calendar on the refrigerator and he checks it every day. He likes to know what day it is and who has the next birthday.
“Mom, in six days, I’ll be six years old!”
“You’re right, Timmy! Are you excited?”
“Yep. I get to go bowling on my birthday.”
I’m not throwing a large birthday party for him this year. I’ve done some really fun birthday parties over the last couple of years. There was the Incredibles party when he was two; the Jungle Expedition party when he was three; the Car party when he was four; and the Superman party when he was five… but it is so much work to put together such a big, fun birthday event, and it’s expensive too.
It took him a while to get used to the idea of not having a big birthday party, but he decided that he would like to go bowling with all the family. Soccer at 11am. Bowling at 1:30. Cupcakes and presents at 4. It will be a busy day. But we will have a blast. :)

Happy Birthday to Timmy! And those parties sound like they were both a lot of fun and a lot of work. So I can't say I blame you for scaling it back this year.
