A Special Needs Birthday

Hey, guys! I’m back with another post! B) Last week, my brother turned 6. It was a challenge preparing his birthday celebration 1^St , NO CAKE. My brother can’t have gluten and HATES frosting. So….. what do ya do? Tony loves ice cream, so we got some for his birthday. Also, NO CANDLES! Why would we put candles in ice cream? Oh, and also… ALERT! He doesn’t understand how dangerous they can be. Decorations? Well, this part was simple. BALLOONS!! Fun to play with, am I right? Well, Tony LOVES them. We thought he would accidentally pop most of them, but it wasn’t him! Guess who actually did pop a lot of balloons? My cat, Bandit!

NO invitations. Too many people would overwhelm Tony! With the fact that he is easily overwhelmed, we had to sing “Happy Birthday” quietly. Actually, I don’t do big birthday parties either! His presents were therapy toys. My present to him? A shape sorter! Do YOU know anyone with special needs? If so, maybe the information from this article will help if THEY have a birthday!

<3 Hannah 🙂
