While I'm good with people getting those kinds of things, I truly believe in moderation, particularly when the child is really young. Seriously, will your one-year-old really remember the Elmo plates or the trip to Chuck E Cheese that cost a fortune? Nope. There are better ways to spend your birthday party budget. I'm on the hunt right now for good favor ideas for my blog. Like your suggestion with the blow-up balls. Much better than candy!

We did have The Mad Science Guy for our son's party when he was a bit older (turning 8 maybe?). It was nice to have the party at home but leave the main entertainment to Mad Science...the kids thought he was hilarious! Actually, I agree.

Have you noticed an evolution process going on in the brains of the new generation kids? The newest gen. is always smarter than the earlier one. Probably it is a combination of the exposure they get. In this era of communication, the media options for tapping this information are vast and easily accessible, even for a toddler. Science should be encouraged at an early level. This would add an edge to the aptitude of the kids making them more competitive as they go to higher grades. My younger son Kevin is 6 years old. He hates doing his homework but enjoys computers and experimenting with stuff he is prohibited to touch. We decided not to tire ourselves with preparations for the birthday party of Kevin. We called the <a href="http://www.madscience.org/">Mad Science</a>. The Mad Scientist mesmerized the kids with hovercrafts, gooey liquids which had amazing properties, DIY rockets which the invitee kids could carry home and even a crash course on robotics. Except for serving food we didn't have to bother ourselves about entertainment. I would highly recommend the <a href="http://www.madscience.org/">Mad Science</a> any day for such a function.
