The five year old turned six last week. As usual had the birthday party with the usual tamasha and overdose of loot bags. On his actual birth date i arranged a lunch at an orphanage. every year i send some cash and dont actually visit so this year thought i should make it a point to go. so took the kids and arrived there for lunch time.
Kids of different ages were there. We were allowed to mingle with some little girls who would have been five to six. they were so adorable with a big smile... As i was leaving watched S being very pensive. his six year old brain was on an overdrive. He had been listening to the caretaker talk about how some of the kids have one parent or none.
My nine year old D rushes into the car and says something like " mum we should think of Bunk beds"
So i take the kids to the orphanage and S is pensive about the whole situation and the nine year old wants a bunk bed...
Kids these days... arghhh

Great move, wonderful example – kids follow the parents you know. :)
This is something I want to do too...celebrate b'days in an orphanage. We did for Nethmi's first b'day but after that as we were out of the country we couldn't do it. I hope to continue once we get back. Good on you that you are doing this.
