My son is about to turn 5, and I have finally gotten to figure out what we are going to do at his party. He wanted to do a LEGO themed one (his birthday is in June) - the first opening they had was July 13th! This is insane. I have gotten to Google in hopes of finding an alternative for the birthday party for him, and stumbled upon this fantastic article on parents revolting against the crazy kids partying culture with themes, expensive gift bags, and more. I love the idea of Birthdays Without Pressure - thank you St.Paul’s parents for starting it! What is it with the birthday craze? Maybe because I grew up in a different environment, it is odd to me - we so far have celebrated every birthday in the park, this is the first time I have tried to do a “themed” one as my son asked. Well, we have decided we will do our own LEGO party in the local park - with LEGO building activities out of his old legos and little lego cars as gift bags.
