Every parent would always want the best for their child.  Although the best does     not necessarily mean  the most expensive rather the best of your means and sometimes ability of the parents to have the art of personalization can be defined as the best you can give.  Celebrating the important dates is the best way to create the memories that are eventually valuable when they are all grown up.  Providing kids with a so called “happy childhood” is in the hands of doting and responsible parents.  Good memories are contributing factor on how a person perceive life and most often than not it’s the force to  recreate history that  once experienced.  Everybody are excited for the celebration of 1st birthday, who isn’t?… it’s not just a celebration of birth but  a celebration of gratitude for a marvelous gift of life.  Balloons, cake, food, favors, pictures, family and friends complete the gathering of the important day.  The wonderful thing about kid’s celebration is that all attendees have the aura of happiness! like almost  a must that everyone must wear that happy face that need not be imposed but just comes out.  So the 1st birthday has been celebrated but does this have to be done every birthday?… there’s no specific answer but definitely depending on the parents themselves, they could or opt not to.  For the reasons not to have a grand or big celebrations will be tons.  Primary reason is monetary,  could also be practicality,  availability,  unexpected circumstances and so on.  Making the birthday to be memorable need not be grand all the time somehow celebrating it with merely family over a lunch or dinner is as good as the company of many.

Why would make the 7th year be special as the 1st? well, typically because it’s the usual age when a kid enter a first milestone in terms of being a student.  First grade means surpassing the nursery and kinder garten years. First grade is the start of  primary education and the year that the kid somewhat exhibits a bit of maturity and starting to have the sense of responsibility.  This is the age where friendships are formed  and the social being is in progress.  Most importantly this is the year that the kid is more susceptible in keeping the experiences and circumstances keenly in mind therefore memories are now being absorbed.

No matter how the birthday is celebrated, simple or grand the most important thing is the subject, the celebrant herself.  Never forget to keep the photos,  it’s more that what it shows.  It brings back the time of the  event.  The very existence of memories that sometimes or selectively forgotten.

So for the seventh birthday, it’s in the parent’s hand to make it lucky or not.
