she's looking forward so much about her birthday, ever since HIS birthday in last weekend, she's been mentioning about her own birthday, for eg. What birthday cake she wants, and what she wants to do, and looking forward so much to opening her presents... (well, just a few of them), then, just now, before bed, I asked her, “baby, your birthday's only 1 day, what are you going to do after your birthday??”, err... of course, she didn't give me any answer, but I guess, and I hope that, we prompted her to think about it... I know, to kids, birthday is somewhat the BIG day for them, but then, seriously, it's only 1 day, after that 1 day, after the big hike, what are you going to do? He told her that, life's not about having birthday every single day, reality is reality... well, I hope, she's not expecting too much, and yes, we don't intend to throw a birthday party for her, ie. Inviting friends and so on, but then, yes, we'll have a small party for her, just the four of us, cos, I mentioned to him that, this morning, she took out her picture book, and showed me that “birthday party” picture, and told me that, that'll be her birthday party... @_@ as much as we love her, we really wanna see her smile, and let her remember her every birthday, but as much as we love her, we hope she's not too much into all these party gimmicks... it'll be... well, it'll be very taxing for us, and for her too... in the future... what? No party, does that mean, that'll be the end of the world?? that's the thing LO...
