This is the baby chick Little S received as a party favor at the last birthday party he attended. I tried desperately to say no but the mother giving away the present shoved it into Little S´s hand and said "this is your little PRESENT young man...especially for YOU" as I stood there protesting saying "no thank you..." and knowing full well I´d never get S to give it back without a huge scene. So it´s currently living in one of our showers until we can give it to our neighbor´s housekeeper who has a farm.
Mexican kids parties are nuts. This is the fifth one we´ve been invited to. They are usually held in rented halls with trampolines and blow up castles, an outdoor playground and little playhouses, face painting, food and costumed people walking about. There are lots of sweets and of course a piñata to bash. Each kid has his turn to break it open and get the treats inside which for some reason are not inside but scattered on the ground by the parents after all the kids have had a turn at bashing.
At this last party there were at least 60 kids and that´s not even counting the babies and their mothers, the numerous nannies and the photographers. I don´t see us ever having a party this big this for S so hopefully he´ll just enjoy the ones he gets to go to while we´re here.

The kids' birthday parties are like that in Texas too! (At least the Mexican ones) I was shocked at the first 1-yo party I went to with all the stuff happening. The food was great though :)
Only about ten kids gathered for the cake cutting which was funny because it was like a staged thing where the phoographer took all these pictures of the little guy pretending to try to blow out the b-day candles. Then Little S was just salivating waiting for the cake to get cut but it never got served...it was just a momentary prop. I think it eventually did but it had some other "scheduled appearances" to make.
That is nuts!
I don't know if I've even ever been to a wedding that elaborate.
And a live chick? What were they thinking????
Poor little S waiting for his cake. The live chick is too much!
