I only have a couple close friends and they pretty much all came and met him at the hospital. </p> <p>He went to daycare and such, but I never made friends with anyone there, nor did he since he was so young. So his first birthday was for me and some of my friends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-of-your-friends-did-your-lo-meet-in-his-or-her-first-year#post-34448 Wed, 14 Dec 2011 22:15:55 +0000 cyndistar3 34448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Id say most if not all since most of our friends are from church. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-of-your-friends-did-your-lo-meet-in-his-or-her-first-year#post-34444 Wed, 14 Dec 2011 22:05:30 +0000 chopsuey 34444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She's only met a handful since most of my friends live in CA. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-of-your-friends-did-your-lo-meet-in-his-or-her-first-year#post-34432 Wed, 14 Dec 2011 21:57:15 +0000 Boogs 34432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want to say that he's met all of them because they came to visit after he was born. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-of-your-friends-did-your-lo-meet-in-his-or-her-first-year#post-34430 Wed, 14 Dec 2011 21:55:19 +0000 mrbee 34430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In my youth (i.e. last year), I thought that first birthday parties were kind of silly. A one-year-old baby doesn't have any friends!</p> <p>But then Hurricane Charlie landed and Mrs. Bee and I were incredibly busy for his first year. I was shocked: he didn't really meet many of my friends, just because we were too overwhelmed to make parental playdates for him to meet friends.</p> <p>So that first birthday party actually became a nice way for my friends to meet Charlie for the first time. File that one under "Of Course"! I learned that in many ways, a child's first birthday party is more for the adults than for the child.</p> <p>Or maybe that's just for me. How many of your friends did your LO meet in his or her first year? Or for your close friends that had babies, how many of them did you get to see in their first year on the planet? </p>
