Haha! That is something I have always thought about! DH wants a summer baby because "there is more to do in the summer for a birthday then the winter", but I'm always like "but what about celebrating at school?!"

My birthday is in April, so I was always able to take treats on my birthday (unless it landed on Good Friday or we had a snow storm and closed school - that happened quite a bit). It was always fun to get to celebrate yourself for a bit at school! DS isn't in school yet, but his birthday is in February, and I will make sure he always has treats and feels special even at school on his birthday!

when i was growing up, my mom would bake cupcakes and pack bag of favors (candy? can't remember) for me to hand out to everyone. that was like 20+ years ago. i heard now, schools are stricter about what you can bring (no sweets, i'm sure).... i guess i'll have to see what my kids' schools allow.

I'll preface this with I was born in '77. When I was in elementary school, our parents would bring in treats for our birthdays - cupcakes, cakes, ice cream, etc. We would sing happy birthday and THEN, the teacher would lay us over her lap and spank us the amount of years we were. Haha, can you imagine that happening today??

I have heard they don't allow homemade treats in schools in our area. Our baby will be an early June baby so I guess she/he will still be in school on his/her birthday? I hope we can celebrate it there!

I have a summer baby and I worry her friends will be on summer vacation for her parties

But I am looking forward to pool parties, and when we went on vacation my sister who was born in August got to celebrate her birthday like 5 times because we'd go to different relatives houses and they'd each give her a little party. So I'm sure she'll be ok.

Mine is during the school year and nothing ever happened, no locker decorations or anything, so I think it'll be awesome for Wombat to have a July bday (Leo too) and have summer-y things to do.
