First Steps & First Smiles: Celebrating Chloe Micole's 1st Birthday

Konnichiwa , Annyeonghaseyo, Buen día, Good day hives ! How's everyone I hope you all having a great day, Today is my daughter Chloe Micole's first birthday and how Filipinos celebrate Birthdays.

The first birthday is a milestone unlike any other. It's not a celebration of grand achievements or worldly knowledge, but a joyous recognition of a year filled with remarkable growth and the blossoming of a unique personality. It's a day to cherish the tiny details that paint a beautiful mosaic of a child's first year.

It was March twenty-one, and I woke up early around four in the morning to prepare everything for the party I have an Exam that day also.

So after I prepared everything, I also prepared my things for my class and got dressed since my class that day was around seven-thirty in the morning.

After I got dressed, While I was travelling towards the school I studied while riding the motorcycle so that I could answer the exam, after our last Subject which is EPP I immediately travelled home,

I needed to decorate my daughter's party but sadly the decoration that I wanted failed since the arc that I rented, we couldn't fix it we tried our best to fix it but it wouldn't turn into the circle but when we tried it, they quickly dismantled.

But when I got home, I noticed folks busy cooking and doing everything they could to help us; the most helpful thing when organising such a celebration is when everyone around you helps each other. Some individuals are cleaning and frying the pig. Some individuals wash the dishes, while others slice veggies or prepare everything.

Also on his day, my friend did a pictorial of her wearing the gown that we rented.

Also, I saw my husband was very busy at that time, early in the morning he drove to Naga, to buy charcoal for the lechon, and everything that was needed, and then he also pitched me in school so that we could go together to get the cake of our princess.

That day, I observed my husband was exhausted, but I saw him as a father who was willing to do whatever to ensure the success of her daughter's party, even if it was exhausting. I appreciated his work, as well as everyone else's because it would not have been possible without them.

Also when everything was prepared we gathered all the kids in front so that we could start playing. It was a fantastic day.

We also took photos of our Chloe I put some artificial grass, a boho tent and a letter board stating " Chloe Micole is turning One Our Swan princess", and she did her part as she was projecting on the camera.

Also, I took photos of Chloe together with his kuya and friends, and her ninang we also took family photos.

We also took a photo of Chloe alone together with his decorations and food she looked like a princess in the photo.

But some of her photos she was crying maybe she was uncomfortable or hungry, but when we gave her a piece of brownies she was back in her mood.

At five O'clock in the afternoon, the guests slowly arrived so we decided that should sing a happy birthday song to our Chloe and we pray for the food so that people could start eating.

I appreciate people spending some effort to buy my daughter Chloe's gift or having their presence at the party.

I observed my classmates come along even though they were miles away from their homes, and my husband's coworkers arriving too late because their shift ended at eight p.m., but they made time to attend Chloe's celebration.

Seeing people talking to each other, laughing and greeting Chloe with a happy birthday overwhelmed us that it was two people who loloveddy daughter.

The first birthday is a turning point. The baby is no longer a helpless newborn, but a curious explorer embarking on the incredible journey of life. This celebration, though seemingly small, is a vibrant mosaic of cherished memories, a testament to the love, laughter, and remarkable growth that define a child's first year.

It's a day to cherish the memories of the first year, a year filled with first smiles, first steps, first words, and a lifetime of love yet to come.

So, to the little one turning one, Happy Birthday! May your world continue to be filled with wonder, laughter, and unwavering love.

Chloe, you may have become one, but you will always be Mama and Papa's princess, even if you grow old and can do everything without us. I love you nak, you and your kuya were our treasure, and when the time comes for you to read this, mama will do everything she can to make you and your kuya happy and comfortable. Mama loves you very much, nak, and once again, happy birthday.
