It's amazing to know that my son is now 1 years old. It seemed like yesterday he was just learning to crawl and the day before that he was smiling and giggling for the first time. Yet its kind surprising how indifferent I feel bout it. Not saying I don't care, I mean it's my child and I'm happy that he's hit that toddler mark. At the same time I don't care. You see, I send all my time with my son since I'm a stay at home mom, but I just don't get that big "Oh My God you're 1" feeling that you think that your suppose to get. I didn't get him a cake nor was I planning on doing a party, whether it was with family or not. I guess I just don't see the what the big deal is. My son doesn't like me to leave his veiw, he doesn't like a lot of noise, or a lot of people around. If I was gonna do something, I wanted him to enjoy himself. Not scream his head off and attach himself to my hip. So my idea was to wait till next year. Hopefully he would be able to particicipate more, run around and sing, and just enjoy being 2. Along with hopefully we (me and his father) would be in such a rut with our finances, among other thing.
Well I kinda didn't have a chose in the matter though. Thanks to my lovely sister in law, she went out and bought him a big cupcake cake and a number 1 candle. I'm not mad about it at all. If we were gonna celebrate his birthday this was how I wanted. Me and his father, his aunts and uncle, and the grandparents. More then that and it would be more of a party in which I would have felt that I needed to provide food and beverages. Now mind you, this is my fiance's family so they would of provided everything. but I see them as guest when it comes to these type of events and I would like to be the hostess which means I cook and clean, etc. It's just how I feel.
Well anyway. Everything worked out great and my son loved the cake. Also the sugar high he got afterwards while I gave him a bath. And I think he may still have a slight high today. All in all, I love my son and I'm glad he had a good birthday.
Now to start planning next year properly.
