Daycare birthday party?

[armpants]

Today one of M's teachers asked me if I was going to do a daycare birthday party. The thought hadn't crossed my mind. I'd love to hear what people do or are planning. He'll move up to the next room after his birthday.

I know that other kids have done this. It pretty much means they bring in cupcakes for everyone and they sing happy birthday.

J's birthday falls on a Saturday, so I would have to do it on Friday. I may just skip it thought.

M's is a Sunday, so I'd do the same.

We used to take in cupcakes. Now the center supplies them once a month to celebrate that months birthdays.

I send in cupcakes. They can have a "party" with that. But that is all I do.

If ds's birthday fell on a weekend right now, I would skip it. DD's fell on Sunday last week and she ASKED if she could send in cupcakes on Monday. So of course I had do.

But I wanted to skip it.

Last year I sent in donut holes for the kids, and whole donuts for the teachers/ staff. There was some miscommunication and they ave all of the old enough kids in P's room (the infant room at the time) a whole donut plus donut holes. I inadvertently caused a sugar high and crash for her entire class. Oops! Not sure what we'll do this year. If her new daycare also allows in food from outside bakeries then I will probably send in donuts again and see how it all unfolds.

I'm not sure what we will do. His birthday is a Friday but I'm taking the day off to spend it with him. He moves up on Monday so I'll ask his new teachers what the norm is.

Am I the Birthday grinch. DNW to have to send anything to daycare for my kids b-days. If daycare does something that's cool. But I'm doing zero.

E's daycare is small (3 other families) so we invite them to our party at our house for E. His b-day is when the daycare is closed anyway though so we wouldn't do anything extra there.

I decided to take in mini muffins. We're not having a party, so nothing to invite his class to.

armpants when is M's birthday? We decided we are just doing a small something on his birthday, nothing huge. Now he will go to daycare on his birthday, but I don't think they will allow outside treats in. I will have to ask.
