Tiger girl is having a new obsession lately. She loves shoes and especially my high heels. Tiger girl is often putting them on and walking around the house in them grinning from cheek to cheek. Sometimes she bursts out shreaking in laughter when I catch her wearing my shoes. I guess that it is an inborn thing about kids and shoes.
I remember her older brothers were the same too at that age. They have an obsession with shoes which are too big for their size. They loved tottering around the house with the over sized shoes making such a din as the shoes go clomp all over the house.
My kids love attending birthday parties. It is so much fun for them to be able to meet up with their friends,play games and have tons of fun.
Here is a list why they will happily go to a birthday party ( and why I don’t think I will hold one for them as it is seriously too much work)
#1- You get to wear party hats. Not only the birthday boy/girl but all the invited guests.
#2- You get to try out fun activities. The boys got to do cookie decoration at one of the birthday party they attended this year.
#3 You get to watch shows.
Sometimes there is a magician which will perform tricks or even balloon sculptures which were make balloons into any shape which you want.
#4 you get to run around and eat all the sinful foods.
Mot of the food is catered at parties so the kids help themselves to the heaps of sweets/candies and fried stuff on offer.
#5 You get a goodie bag
Most of the time is filled with small toys and/or sweets which mummy doesn’t approve off. If we are lucky she lets us eat some but most of the time it does mysteriously vanish by the time we get home.
#6- You get to hang out with the whole family.
All four generations of them sometime like when we were celebrating great grandma’s 86th birthday last month.
#5- You get to eat cake.
Lots of it in fact. While choosing the birthday cake for grandma this year the boys decided to get an assortment of cake instead of one big cake. This way everyone gets to eat their favourite flavour and type of cake.
#7- You get to blow out the candle even though it is not your birthday.
This is especially true if you are celebrating an adults birthday as they will happily relight the candles for you to blow them out.
#8- You get a treat and maybe a present too.
Great grandparents are great. The boys get red packets when she celebrates her birthday. Sometimes to prevent the other non birthday child from being jealous they are also given birthday present too.
#9- You get to eat out at a fancy restaurant
We do not bring the kids out to eat in fancy restaurants on special occasions only. A birthday is certainly on of those occasions
#10- You get to go on holiday.
We have been celebrating the kids 1st birthday overseas. What better way to experience a birthday then with friends and family especially the extended family who lives in Hong Kong.
