Party, party, oy vey party!!!

My 3 1/2 year old son is in pre-school in a regular school. He's there from 9-5. Don't talk to me about the hours. I know it's long, but I have a choice of 3 hours or that and 3 hours is too short for him. Anyway, in the afternoon is some of the same kids as the morning and some new ones, so he has a lot of kids in his class. There's about 12-15 total in each class. In this country it seems like everybody makes birthday parties.

2 weeks ago he had a birthday party. Last week, he had 2 birthday parties. When I went to pick him up at the second birthday party, on Wednesday, I looked in his notebook and saw 2 more invitations for this week, one on Tuesday and one on Thursday. Each child has a communication notebook, which has notes from the school or just what's going on. When I saw them, I was like argh!! When he came home on Thursday, I looked in his notebook and found another invitation for Monday--argh!!! When he came home on Friday, I asked him jokingly if he has another invitation for Wednesday. He laughed and said, no. Little did he know, I checked and he has one for Wednesday--ARGH!!!! So, just in case you're lost, that's Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, from 5-7 for 3-4 year old. People here go to sleep late. I know I don't have to send him, but he loves going. I'll see what I decide to do. And the presents. I'm spending less and less Confused

. Just venting a bit, but isn't this nuts?!?!?!?!?!

Oh, wow- I didn't realize at first that these are birthday parties that are outside the classroom!
5-7 does seem late. But what other choice is there if the kids only get out at 5?

get the girls a PINK matchbox car! Wink

Don't tell him about them and he won't know, hopefully!

As for gifts, get a stack of crayola markers or twistables with some coloring books.

why don't they make them on sunday? I always make my kids parties on sunday morning.

My almost 4 year old got invited to 3 more parties this coming week. While that's nuts in itself, the craziest is the phone invitation I just got. It's this motzei Shabbos from 9-11 Shocked

. These are 3-4 year olds.
