Happy B’day Dear Hubby & A

It was Hubby’s & A’s B’day on Friday, yes the same day:-). We usually go out to celebrate and cut the cake at home but this time A is into celebrating with friends so I was planning accordingly. I got all the information and decided the place and everything but because of all that happened last month, I decided not to do it the way I was going to. I didn’t think A would mind but boy, was I wrong. Everyday he asked me if we were going to invite his friends and celebrate at his favorite place. Finally I thought of calling 2 of my friends just so that A won’t feel bad that we didn’t invite anybody and planed to celebrate at home.

When I talked to him he got mad at me because I already told him that we would celebrate at Chuckee Cheese. He kept bringing the information paper I got from Chuckee Cheese and told me that he wanted to celebrate there. I tried to talk to him but every time he got mad at me. I thought if I won’t do it he will feel very bad so called my friends & told them to come to Chuckee Cheese and since it was far away I had to change the day from Friday to Saturday so that they could come with their family.

I asked him what did he want on his birthday and he kept saying, 1 apple, 1 banana, lots of candy, lots of ice cream, big cake, decoration and balloons. I was thinking of surprising him by decorating with banner & balloons in the morning but hubby leaves early in the morning and there is no way kids can stay in the bedroom without me. They are up as soon as I get up. And then hubby said if you do all that & celebrate the next day he will feel bad because he will be expecting everything on that day so I decide we will do the American way; celebrate on the weekend:-).

On Friday I just kissed him but didn’t wish. When I called hubby to wish him A was there and he said

“But its my B’day too”
“No , your B’day is tomorrow”
“No mamma, Jai Jai said mine & papa’s B’day is on the same day”
“Ohh yeah, sorry Papa, its not ur B’day today.. mommy made a mistake..we will wish you tomorrow;-)”

So the next day I got up extra early.. Decorate the place, not too much but enough to make him happy:-) Baked a small cake in my soup bowl:-), put his presents out.. He was really happy and as soon as he saw the balloons he said “Did Jai-Jai do that for me? Because I am a good boy?”
“Yes, Jai-Jai did that for you:-)”.

He is not into gifts as long as something is wrapped in a gift paper, he is happy.. so we didn’t get him any present as I am out of space to put anymore toys still I got him around 10 little thing that I knew he would like. We played with the balloons, made goody bags. Then we cut the cake.. It was magic candle and both of them had lots of fun until the candle was out. Then it was time for some bubble fun:-) It was just great morning and we all had so much fun.

We had planned to keep him in B’day mode all day long so after all that we went out for lunch. Had relaxed 2hr. lunch and then went to pick up the cake. We reached Chucke Cheese around 5:10 and my friends were there within 10 minutes. Everybody had blast there. Little after a hr. we cut the cake, had pizza and everybody went back to play. We were getting so tired but kids didn’t want to leave. Had to drag the kids out because it was already 8:30 and they were playing for more than 3hrs. Gave them goody bags and said thanks. We waited for them to leave and we left in 25 minutes too..

It was great but very tiring day. We didn’t get up until 12 the next day:-)
His only complaint “I am a boy and I wanted to celebrate with my boy friends not with girls:-)”
