It's always a bit of a stress to organise Nadine's birthday parties, because her birthday is so early in the year, and just after a busy December period. This year is even more challenging because I had a business trip the week of her birthday. So I negotiated with her to have a small celebration with 4 friends of her choice.
She decided to invite 2 boys and 2 girls from her kindergarten - Yingzhe, Jaeden, Carisse and Kaitlyn. Unfortunately, Kaitlyn injured herself and couldn't come.
The kids had fun catching up over lunch, and playing at Happy Willow after that. The parents also had a good time exchanging P1 stories, and sharing our common gripe about how P1 has changed our lives - that we now have even less time for ourselves as we need to coach our kids with their P1 work.
As her birthday fell on a Monday, we held the birthday celebration a day earlier, on Sunday. And I now realised that had confused Nadine. She now thinks that her birthday for "this year", is 10 January, despite the fact that we bought another cake to celebrate with her on the actual day. I think she's confused with birthday and birthday celebration.
