So, do you remember this from,
oh,
about 6 months back?
You know, the days when the baby’s 1st birthday party was nearly a whole year away?
Well, far away it is no more.
As my dear mommy friend remarked recently, we are about to be bidding farewell to the year in which we gave birth.
This means that we are embarking upon the year of
The First Birthday Party.
And so, because we’ve come no closer to securing the theme for our baby’s big bash,
I asked my husband for ideas, once more.
And this is exactly what he said
(and I know that it’s exactly what he said, because as soon as he opened his trap, I grabbed the computer and recorded every last word.):
“How about Baby Supermodel theme? You know, all the babies show up dressed like supermodels. You know, like they wear big glasses and stuff. They can all pull up in baby limos. And the dogs can strap cameras on their backs like baby paparazzis. And the babies can wear jewelry and watches. And mascara! We have to get mascara! How cute would that be?
Or wait wait wait, how about a Baby Casino theme? You know,  some of the babies could be carryig around drinks. Then some of the babies will be washed up babies who have gambled all their lives and don’t have anything. That would be sad. And then, how about babies who are high rollers, and then babies who are just like tourists who have no idea what to do, so they just play the slots?”
And there was more. There was an Eagles theme. A beach theme. And a few more that I won’t even dignify with a mention.
However, amidst this stream of conscious rambling,
we did come across a few good ideas.
But I won’t share them quite yet.
Because fortunately, I still have approximately 3 1/2 months left to plan.
And boy do I hope that’s enough time to custom order slot machines that are only 20 inches high.
Wish me luck!
