(that would be so cute if your school will let you do that.) maybe even go out for breakfast that morning. [ hco_babe's advice column | Ask hco_babe A Question ]

Although the actual date of someone's birthday is significant to them, there isn't any reason you can't celebrate BEFORE that date. Do something 1 to 2 days (or more) before his birthday. He won't mind if it is early. {Going out afterward, doesn't quite feel the same.} Go to dinner, the movies, whatever it is that would make it special for HIM. Have a small cake or treat with a candle to make it seem more "birthdayish". Then on the actual birthday, wish him a Happy Birthday and say, "I had fun celebrating your birthday the other day." You could also save a small gift for him to open on his birthday. He can open it when you are not there and it will remind him of the special time you had earlier. It is the thought that counts, not the day. [ MotherJune's advice column | Ask MotherJune A Question ]
megz2009 answered Saturday February 4 2006, 12:58 pm: hi! my advice is to pay alot of extra attention to him during the school day. Maybe make him a cupcake or something and give it to him before school starts, decorate his locker, bring him a thoughtful present, make him a special lunch, and stuff like that. Maybe before you go to school you call him and sing him happy birthday over the phone. Just a few ideas, lol. All you have to do is let him know that you care, which you do, and he will feel special. Have fun! Luv megz2009 [ megz2009's advice column | Ask megz2009 A Question ]
