I think you should tell her. Maybe just bring out the birth announcement and talk about how little he used to be. No one else has noticed? Its kind of funny. I dont see how someone forgets something like that.

Ha ha, that is a little funny, she probably is having a brain freeze or something. I do that sometimes, my dd birthdate is 08/06/07 and sometimes i forget and mix the numbers up, i have to double check her picture that has her birthday on it to make sure. Lack of sleep does weird things to the brain. LOL But if she makes the mistake again you should casually say, "that's weird, on his birth announcement it says the 28th." hopefully that will jump start her memory.

I'm not sure if anyone else has noticed. If they have they're probably in the same position as I am, debating whether or not to correct her. Although you'd think his dad would have mentioned it haha. I dunno how she could forget either. She told me the 27th for the first time on Christmas Day so he was only like three months at the time. It's hard to forget something that important that quickly. I have the birth announcement in my wallet, I'll try to casually give it to her. That's a good idea.

that is funny my sister did the same thing with her daughter...Her b-day is March 27th she thought it was the 21st....I just said isnt it the 27th? I said it as if I was a bit unsure. then she said no its the 21st....I pulled out her hospital pictures which had her b-day on it showed her and she said....well I was out if it that day how was I suppose to remember (she said that jokingly) You could tell she was embara__sed but someone had to correct her....I think it will be embara__sing regardless if she figures it out on her own or not. I would just casually dring it up while looking through something that has his b-day on it

Oh I might add...when I corrected my sister I was 15 years old, and didnt understand how you could forget your childs b-day, so i was very baligerant (sp)...I realise now that I have kids its not that big of a deal...Sometime I have to think for a second if Zaiden was born september 1st or 2nd, because the first was when I went into the hospital, and I have Dante's B-day down now, but after he was born I would have to think, because I thought it was the 6th of march when it was the 8th....again because the 6th is when I went into the hospital.

She probably is cheesing it. I have preggo brain allll the time now and when they ask me things I go blank and am like "well what the hell IS my address.... "

Yeah, I'd just randomly start up a convo with her one day and slip in a comment about the day he was born while you are reading from the birth announcement, and just keep it rolling. If she says "no, his birthday is____" just hand her the birth announcement and say "oh sorry, I guess I got it wrong because I was reading it from here. I didn't realize the announcements were wrong." It'll give her a chance to look it over, think it over while you are not in the position of waving it over her head. You will be letting her double check it, and correct whatever mistake she made. Adding a little self-humility will also help her not to feel bad. It actually isn't that rare to do. I mean hell I kept saying my son's birthday wrong, and this year I keep saying he was born 2008 because it's just so hard for me to wrap my head around the fact that he is a year old. I also am in denial about his b-day because it's the same as his sperm donor.

Oh I "told" her last night. I just gave her the birth announcement and started talking about how he looked like he had dark brown hair when he was born, and after only a few weeks it turned blonde...She looked at the date and was kind of quiet, then I helped her make the birthday invitations and she wrote that it would be on September 28th. :)

Update on this--- My nephew's birthday and party was yesterday. But for SOME REASON my sister now thinks his birthday is today instead of yesterday!! She's throwing him another tiny celebration when she gets home from work. I'm not going to say anything haha.

Well happy b-day to your nephew, what did you end up getting him? It seems like your sister needs some sort of reminder card in her wallet, or maybe even a tattoo, LOL. It's kind of funny but it is kind of serious too, i mean there will be times where she will have to give his birthdate for important things and there may be a problem if it does not match his birth certificate.

I know, but my input doesn't seem to be helping much lol. I got him a leapfrog game that's like a steering wheel and the b___tons sing him the abc's and 123's. It's also bilingual because his dad's family speaks Spanish. Then I got him a pair of PJs that have dinosaurs on it, it says "I'm dino-might!" No one else really thought it was funny but I nearly peed my pants haha. His birthday party was crazy.... He had a little baby cake all to himself, that was his first time having sugar so he went psycho on a sugar high. He got cake in his hair, up his nose, in his ears...and my sister said there was even some in his diaper! Then my dad was there, drunk as ever, threatening Harold saying "There's going to be an 'accident.' You'd better grow eyes in the back of your head, boy." Who drinks at a one year old's birthday party? Whatever... Overall it was an enjoyable celebration though :)

haha amanda- i laughed at the dino-might :) maybe they just didnt have a sense of humour >.< lmao. as for the person getting drunk that kinda sucks, :( atleast your nephew got his sugar rush though :D

YES!! I knew it was funny... I knew I wasn't crazy :P And yeah I was pretty upset about my dad getting drunk, but I should have expected it. I was told he wasn't going to be there but he showed up. He was also playing ping pong with this little kid maybe 5 years old, and screaming at him accusing him of cheating... He's a freaking kid who cares if he cheats anyways? My dad is so ridiculous. I swear I see him once and he's under my skin for the next few weeks. Nobody drives me that crazy!
