4 was the first year we had a birthday party and we did a special ballerina bday party at our house, but that doesn’t sound like what you are looking for. For her 3rd bday we went to open play time at an inflatables jumping place, just us as a family of 4 (the baby was only 6 months old and in the carrier on my chest but DH jumped with her. She had an absolute blast. Maybe you could do something like that? Then we went out for her favorite lunch- bagels

If I were doing a birthday away from home I would do dessert for dinner and a trip to the toy store to pick out a present, and maybe a special outing somewhere - trampoline place, local zoo, something like that.

I know it's like the worst place on earth but to make it extra special, how about a couple hours at Chuck-E-Cheese? (Ugh, I know, but they love it so much!)

@mediagirl: @jhd: My 3.5yo sees the Chuck E. Cheese commercials and begs to go so we finally told him that they have a rule that you must poop in the potty to go inside. (He still asks for a diaper to poop 🤦‍♀️) So now he says that when he poops in the potty someday he can go.
Well a few weeks ago my MIL had him over night and the next day she said she wanted to take him to Chuck E. Cheese. He very seriously told her “no no grandma, you have to poop in the potty to go there, they won’t let me in”. Thank god she realized it was something we told him and she didn’t blow us up.
