Malia had her birthday party yesterday and she had a great time. I kept it very small -- just the families that she sees the most with similar aged kids to her and a couple of Gymboree friends. It was hard to cut the invite list but since we had it at Pump It Up, I needed to make sure the Little Kids (LK) didn't get mowed over and overwhelmed by the Big Kids (BK). In the end, we had 7 BK and 9 LK. It was a perfect balance (anymore BK and it might as well have been a party for Kael). The BK played pretty rough in the larger bounce house with the Dads but they kept it there so that left the little house for the LK to play in peace and stay injury-free. It was great.
I knew that Malia would have a great time, but I didn't think she'd have as great a time as she did. She wanted to go down the Big Slide with the BK and showed great coordination bouncing around. Sure, she landed on her face a bunch of times but I have a feeling she did that on purpose.
It was a great party - no injuries, no fighting, and plenty of room to run without playing Bumper-Kid. The kids scarfed down the pizzas like a pack of hungry wolves and then I sent them all home to sleep (the party ended at 6:45pm). From talking to some of the Moms today, all that jumping helped their kids crash at bedtime. Just consider that another party favor...
Enjoy the pictures!
