You can always just keep it simple, sing happy birthday, simple decorations. I just can't get over they still mash his bananas? I know parents are just protective and many of them are first time parents, but that would annoy me a little bit. I have a family on my street who do the same thing and they have asked me to care for their son, but i had to politely refuse. They are just too over the top for me and I knew it wouldn't be a good mix. Their child is nearly one and if they drive anywhere together, they still have one of them always sit in the backseat with the child in case he cries. Anyhow...way off topic...happy birthday to the little one!
