AK turned seven last week. The years have gone by so fast, it is SCARY! He looks and feels like a really big boy now. He chose to have a bowling birthday party at AMF. There were 10 kids from his class and two little ones (our own SK and a friend of hers). Surprisingly, the little ones left older ones alone and didn’t fuss that they wanted to bowl too. I was pleasantly surprised at how well they just hung around playing their own little games. They got to bowl for an hour and was nice to watch. I do think the older kids’ party is more fun. At younger ages, it is more work for the parents, but now, most parents just drop off the kids who play by themselves. We socialized with the few parents who chose to stay.
After the game, there was the party. The pizza was so-so, but the kids really lapped it up, some more than others. I felt it was too salty. Then was the cake cutting – we had ice cream cake. And then it was giving out the party favors and bye-byes. It was a very enjoyable evening.
