It will be my birthday soon! It is exciting because I will have a party with my friends

Sometimes, there might be loud noises or too many people at my party. This can make me feel a little upset

If I feel upset, I can take a break and go to a quiet place for a few minutes to feel better

I might not know how to play all the games or talk to everyone, and that's okay. 

I can chat with people I know

I will be happy when I see my cake and the presents. I can ask for help if I need it to open them

I know my birthday is fun, and I can enjoy the day in the way that makes me happiest
