Madness turned one today.
The morning was spent preparing the house for our visitors, four children and three extra adults.
Mostly, I sat around in the afternoon opening presents and eating lots of cake.
I am completely and utterly exhausted. It's such a strange feeling. Fun time though. Madness got clobbered by one of the junior guests, so that wasn't particularly adding to the party mood at that stage. Said guest left shortly after, running a fever (I didn't poison him... honest).
I have to go to bed now. No tips for today. Except... First birthday parties are fun. Definitely have one. But nap before hand.
Mmm, naps.

I've actually heard a lot of people claim that first birthday parties are a waste of time, as the kid will never remember it anyway. I, of course, don't agree with this statement.
Now, granted, a gigantic party with 20 kiddos is over the top. Keep it small, keep it simple, and it can be a fun time for all of you, even the kiddo.
Fun tip: Choose whatever kind of cake/ice cream YOU like. It'll be one of the last chances of that happening for a good long while.
Serious tip: Take lots of pictures. Sure, your baby won't remember it, but the picture makes a neat momento (and great blackmail to show to future dates).
Oh, no way was it a waste of time! It was fun, and Madness had a ball, which is the most important thing.
Thanks for your tips :oD They're good ones, that's for sure!
