Haha Lenny, we are going well over that recommendation! This is the first time she's been excited about her birthday, she talks about it a bit and who she wants there. Apparently she wants a ballerina party - I'm shocked she doesn't want Peppa Pig, she's actually started to not care about Peppa anymore! So I figure if she's this excited, she can have her first real party. Next year will be small, 5 maybe a bit bigger, then small til probably 10, 13, 16, 18, 21. I think they're the big ones aren't they?
Hestia, I want to go to your play centre! That sounds amazing! The one we were at, it's just a pub with a big indoor playground. They've got some work to do there because the birthday boy went looking for his parents and actually opened the pub door and went outside, a stranger found him down the road and brought him back. His mum wasn't happy that he could so easily open the door, and it was near impossible to keep track of all the kids there.
I really like the sound of all the ones you guys had at the park. The locals here are lobbying for toilets near our playground - it's at the oval where they play cricket, there are tennis courts and an undercover bbq area, really all it needs is the toilets. We're a very small town though so I don't know if the council will pay attention.
If not, I think we may just have to work on getting our back yard ready. We've got the space, a small jumping castle and outdoor play equipment so they'd like that. And at least then we'd have fridges and toilets. The grandparents and aunt & uncle can come and help with the set up and bring food.
I also found out when I picked up DD that there's another little girl to add to the list, apparently DD, girl-twin and this other girl are like three little amigos, and sometimes boy-twin tags along. Cute
That's a bit scary about the guest of honour ending up outside!
I just remembered a good friend of mine and her daughters 2nd birthday, she had a rainbow party with maybe 8 kids. Rainbow fruit platter and rainbow cake of course! She set out activities for the kids that were all rainbow themed so threading dyed pasta onto string to make necklaces, rainbow dyed rice and various cups etc, rainbow pictures to colour in, she also had a mini jumping castle. Kids loved it!
To be honest I hoping she goes back to Peppa lol. There are a billion Peppa and George things out there, but I'm not sure that these particular boys would be keen on a ballerina party!
