A One Year Old is Always King

I salute to all the mommies and daddies who have thrown a birthday party for a one year old. I just watched, and even I was exhausted. A bunch of other infant and toddlers running around, chewing at everything they see, throwing any toy they can get their hands on around. Adults stay busy eating and then cleaning up after the kids and feeding them whatever might be edible to them. The one year old may never be aware that his/her birthday is being celebrated, but of course receives more toys than a day care center could hold.

2nd Lesson learned: Be quick in stealing the cake before the kids get all of it
