Dear Darsh
I am writing after so long because we have been busy. Let me tell you about your 7th birthday party. Until January you did not want to host a party. By mid january some excitement creeped in and you started making lists: friends to invite, theme, menu, games but you also insisted that we host at home. No amount of bribing, cajoling, begging worked. Infact we told you that at home we won't be able to invite all your friends. So you said you will have a boys' party. After that you sat on all the chairs and couches one by one and guess-estimated that around 25 kids can be invited. We negotiated and the list came down to 20. That's another story that you ended up inviting around 30 kids.
Now for the party. It was the most riotous, noisy, out-of-control party i had ever hosted or even attended. Everytime one of your friends came, the other children chanted his name and hugged as if meeting after so long. The games guy was late and when he came he made children partner up which led to a few disagreements. And then ofcourse wven after telling him several times in advance he made only a few kids win again and again. A few pouts there too. So had to dig out some prizes for them and hand it over to them. You had very nicely handed over your money bank and the password to all your friends so at one point my room was filled with children fighting over real money and who would 'deposit' it in the box. Halfway through the party you sneaked out a few return gifts and handed it over to your friends. Some opened it too and complained about the quality. Some tried to dismantle and assemble it again. A few came to me and asked why this and why not that. And now let's talk about the cake. You know your neha mausi gets the cake since she has started working with chocolat. So this year too she organized it. And a good thing too because no one else could have accomplished it. You wanted a cake with 2 kinds if topping - lego and pokemon. Ofcourse you wanted a third element too - boboiboy but thankfully sanity prevailed. Ofcourse there were tears for the cake topper edible toys too. Too much. So much so that we had to tell your friends that the toppers have to be returned. No really we said that.
