As a result, Trixie has had a rolling series of little parties/get-togethers, each more ad hoc than the previous. On Trixie's actual birthday, it was pretty quiet. Jennifer was not able to get away from the hospital for dinner, so Trixie and I went to her choice of restaurant. Rather unsurprisingly, she demanded Elmo's and ordered a hamburger. After everyone got back home, we had a quiet little celebration with coke floats.

my sister has the same problem. her bday is august 4th and it's always hard to get her friends together. my mom always just plans a party for whenever everyone is available. happy bday trixie :)
Ugh, my birthday's the same. It's 26th December, so everyone was always either in a post-Christmas stupor or away visiting their Grannies. My party usually happened in February!
I think at her age, it really doesn't matter about a "planned perfectly" party. She probably was happy to be with you and Jen and to open her "presents"..... sometimes, it is all about the "presents" and that's ok for a 3 year old. She will have MANY parties in her future.
Coke floats - now THERE'S a birthday treat!
It could be worse. My wife's doctor initially gave her a due date of December 25th for our forthcoming second kid. It has since been revised to a few days earlier, but still...
Same problem here...my 3 year olds birthday is July 4th! A big beach week but so far we've been lucky and had pretty good turn outs. Plus we get to tell him the fireworks are just for him!
My son's birthday is 4 days before Trixie's and we were amazed that everyone we invited* actually came! I told everyone far in advance what the date would be and they were all able to make it.
*we invited 2 kids from his daycare class, but they were attending a birthday party for another boy whose birthday is 7/29.
Our next little one is due right around Thanksgiving and I'm hoping he comes mid-November so we don't have to worry about the holiday.
Same problem---Youngest daughter's b'day is Dec 28. Sometimes we had an UNbirthday in summertime or early Dec party. Just made it HER day!!
Happy Belated Birthday Trixie!
Reading these comments are funny:
my sister and I both hate our respective birthdays and all our lives have wished to be born on the other's birthday.
I am a December 24th baby, she was born July 31st (same as Trixie!). It just goes to show, you can never win! haha.
To solve that dilemma when we were kids, my parents would buy each of a very small "unbirthday" present on the other's birthday. Worked out well!
Geez... don't'cha know that while you have a birthDAY, you celebrate for the entire birthMONTH?
:)
All month!!!! The girls celebrated all year. They had it easy. They are begining to appreciate their parents (at 41 and 37 is not too bad)
We've got the same thing, too. We enjoyed our family birthday celebration with the choice of favorite restaurant and a few presents from family, then tried to get enough friends together for the "friend party" later. It's challenging! Happy belated bday to Trixie! She's beautiful.
do kids start preschool at age 3?
and kindergarden at age 4? or 4 and 5?
