My parents are coming to visit though and I think they want that day with him to themselves :) I'd like to take his birthday off in the future. I'm a teacher though, so taking a day off is kind of a chore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/didwill-you-take-the-day-off-for-your-los-bday#post-1002072 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 20:56:25 +0000 yerpie110 1002072@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We definitely will be taking the day off!

LO's birthday is on a saturday next year though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/didwill-you-take-the-day-off-for-your-los-bday#post-1001111 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 17:18:50 +0000 regberadaisy 1001111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was just thinking about this! Her first was on a weekend. But I think in coming years we will. We always spent our birthdays together, took a half day. Not sure what to do when she's school aged though?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/didwill-you-take-the-day-off-for-your-los-bday#post-1001102 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 17:17:22 +0000 Pink Champagne 1001102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope... We are doing two different parties, and his birthday is on a Wednesday and momma needs to work soooo... We will probably do something in the morning to "celebrate" though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/didwill-you-take-the-day-off-for-your-los-bday#post-1001098 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 17:16:48 +0000 MamaMoose 1001098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably not. It's two days before thanksgiving this year and the girl who backs me up at work usually takes off around thanksgiving (and I get Christmas). My LO won't know the difference anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/didwill-you-take-the-day-off-for-your-los-bday#post-1001096 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 17:16:19 +0000 mrskc 1001096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bookworm: nice! </p> <p>@septemberlove: that's great! </p> <p>@hellobeeboston: hooray!
