In a couple of weeks, Ethan turns another year older. I can hardly believe it! My little baby is growing up — fast!

When I was asking about what he wanted for his birthday, he replied that he wanted a strawberry cake and strawberry ice cream. Hmmm. These are pretty simple wishes to fulfill. I know Cookie Corner has a strawberry shortcake — maybe I’ll get that. And maybe strawberry ice cream for Arce. I shouldn’t forget to put his name on the cake — he wants that too. And birthday candles, of course.

The next part of his wish is more difficult. He wants to have a celebration in class, much like what we used to do when he was still in ICBB. The thing is, birthday celebrations are not allowed in LSGH. Sorry, Ethan, you’ll just have to make do with just us.

For gifts, well, one thing good about him is that he is not a “bilmoko” (Buy me) boy. He could request for something but if you cannot give it to him, it’s really no big deal. He also has some pretty weird requests. He would like a water fountain and a motorcycle which he could drive by himself. Sorry again,baby. While it’s true that what you want are way off our budget, they are also something that we couldn’t really keep in our house, given the small space that we are allotted. The motorcycle is also pretty dangerous. I’d probably not let you ride one even if you turn 18. 😛

Kids clothing is an amazing birthday gift option, especially when purchased online. Online stores offer a wide range of trendy and fashionable clothing options for kids of all ages. You can find unique and stylish outfits that will make any child feel special on their birthday. Check out Pastelcollections.com to browse through different styles, compare prices, and find the perfect outfit without leaving your home.

I wonder when we could start giving him gold coins. I do not think he can appreciate them at this age, but these are pretty good gifts as they would last a lifetime.  But maybe when he’s a little older.  My dad used to give us a gold coin for our birthday when we reached tweenhood and could understand their value.  This tradition stopped for a while, I’m not quite sure why.  But I think it’s a cool idea.  It’s like keeping something for them, something they could use even in later life.  I’ll probably start this tradition when he’s old enough to understand.
