party pooper..

Lately, I have been thinking a lot about Mateen's 1st Birthday.
I was deciding on the theme.. either Dibo the Gift Dragon or Agent OSO..
I was deiciding on the food to serve..the venue.. the guestlist.. the doorgifts...alot went thru my mind..

Then, I asked Mr Bert about his ideas or opinions..
He said that Mateen's "too young" to have a party, he won't even remember anything.
He rather have a small makan session with my family, just a little cake, and that's it.

And with that, I've started to have second thoughts.. to have or not too have a party for this little Munckin. Oh dear...

Financially? We are quite tight..I had to do a major service for my car recently, so I am quite broke for the next few months to pay up my credit card. Mr Bert is still paying for the hospital bills (when delivering Mateen last year), deducted from his salary on a monthly basis. Of course, to take the easy way out, just skip the party & just do lunch with the 3 of us.

But on the other hand, I would like to have a little party.. Mateen & his 'same age' friends playing together ..mummies & daddies exchanging stories about their little ones.. having cute party decos & such..It is memories for him, and myself..

So, I'm torn in between..not sure what to do..

Maybe when he's bigger (like, 2 years old?), he'll understand & appreciate birthday party better, then we can 'invest' in a bigger party instead. (Insyallah by next year, we will be financially stable..). Hmm...

No final decision yet.. I still have less than 3 months to decide...
