Our friends' daughter recently celebrated her second birthday. At the party, there were nine adults and seven children. Only one of the kids was older than two. As I sat in the living room amid infant car seat carriers and a swing and a Bumbo and wiped spit up off of a dress and filled another sippy cup, I realized that this was not only the first party I'd ever attended with so many children since I was a child, but this will also probably be what every birthday party I attend from here on out will look like. It was a really weird realization, if only because it means that I'm getting older.
I love kids birthday parties! They might be a little chaotic--but kids are so much more easily content and joyful than adults, so they're kind of fun to be surrounded by!
ReplyDeleteI love your positive perspective, Rachel! And yes, that is so true--I didn't think of that!
