Her birthday is always a big thing to me. I will explore what presents to buy for her, where to bring her for celebration and how to organize a simple celebration with her friends in the childcare center, etc. She will start to receive red packet a few days before her actual day from the Seniors. We also involve her in the process, especially for the session with her friends, to let decide what goodies bags to buy for them within a budget.
I will get her to hold a number on her actual day and take a picture of her. :-)
After much exploration, I din buy her any present this year. She already has many toys, DVDs, clothings, books etc. Maybe, it is time for her to learn that birthday is not so much about presents but more about sharing....sharing time with her family, her friends and sharing her joy with all. In this respect, i believe I am celebrating her birthday everyday. Of course, she will still receive scoldings from me whenever she is out of the limit that we have set for her.
As a parent, it is always fulfilling and happy to see how much she has grown, physically, mentally and emotionally. Ha...ha...ha...
