Dominik is 7

I've just counted how many birthday Dominik has in a year. More exactly, how many birthday party is held for him during the whole summer. It's quite funny because this number is 6!

1.) We usually did not hold any birthday party in the nursery because it was always over by mid June. Unless it was summer nursery and we just attended on his big day. This year, Dominik told me that he never sat at the round table to be celebrated by his friends in the nursery. I said: it is OK, easily solvable and this is the last time in such millieu, we'll bring cakes and you can be the birthday boy as you wish.

2.) In the meantime, his usual big birthday party was planned, the participants were asked which date fits their summer schedule best. So it happened that he had the second birthday within the month of June.

I worried how the LEGO party of last year could be surpassed. I knew well that it must be very different like the previous ones and did not want to stay at home, so I was thinking of an adventure park or an exciting playground or something outdoor where we can bring our cake with ourselves. (In most cases, you aren't allowed to bring any food/drink into such playhouses but you have to buy there.)

Then I found this possibility in the nearby game reserve that exactly seemed to be the one I was looking for. Prior to the final decision we went with Dominik to explore the site but no one was found there. We decided to enquire from the waiter in the nearby restaurant and he persuade me then and there that were are at the right place. He was an independent person from the birthday party point of view and said only good things since his son had been involved, too. So I made the decision, reserved the date, arranged the down payment, distributed the invitation cards, ordered the desired cake, organized the logistics of the children and the big day has come.

The program was amazing. There was healthy competition, playful learning, interesting challenges and exercises, smart games, animals and nature and even the adults were involved. As a summary, I'm happy to say that the party of this year was a worthy continuation of the last one.

3.) As none of my cousins' children could attend the birthday party in the game reserve, we decided to hold an additional party at home with them. This will be due next weekend.
 
4.) The genuine day of Dominik's birth, the 24th of July. I celebrated him from early morning till night and forwarded him each and every best wishes of the relatives, acquintances and friends. I woke up early in the morning to prepare his favourite "breakfast". Although, I usually do not preapare pancakes on weekdays before work.

5.) Although, congratulations happened, due to other engagements, we have postponed the party held for close family members such as grandparents and godparents.

6.) Last but not least, we don't have to forget the celebration on Dominik's father's side.

So this is how it happens that Dominik has birthday during the whole summer: from June through July till August. :-)
