Sick on Her First Birthday?!

Just wait until she feels better... she's not going to know, and you will ALL enjoy it more if she is her usual self!

Or.... do it twice! No harm in that!

Wait. She has no idea that it's her birthday anyway. What's the point of forcing her to eat cake just so you can take a photo? It will just make all of you miserable. You can send your older child to the fair if it's something that won't be there in a week, but otherwise, teach him that his ill sibling is more important and that we postpone things when someone is sick.

Yeah, like Queen says, wait til she feels better. Then it will be fun for her and for you!

Glad you're taking her to ped. Poor baby! Hope she's better really soon!

I would wait until she feels better. She's not going to understand. Maybe they could bring her a balloon or something from the fair.

Aww, just wait til she can enjoy it. I promise you she won't know the difference.

I'm sorry your baby is sick! She will enjoy smashing things more when she feels well. Today is more a disappointment for you all than it is for her, since she doesn't know what a birthday is. But you can wait for a bit. Maybe it'll be just a couple of days until she can get at that cake.

Wait. She's too young to understand and be disappointed. Do it in a couple days when it will be fun for her and take your pictures then. It will be a fun comment for her baby book.

i would wait til she is better. why give it to her when she is sick? she won't know the difference in a day lol

You have one thing in your favor. She will never remember what day you celebrated her birthday on. Wait until she is well. Cake just doesn't seem so appealing when it back tracks.

Wait until she's feeling better. Poor baby!

She doesn't know it's her birthday, and couldn't care less about cake. Just focus on getting her well.
