“
id U” not, this was the best birthday, so far, for 5-year-old Josiah
Wu, who celebrated a superhero-themed day at Kids U in
Paramus. It was also a happy last hurrah for the PlayQuad,
which closed its doors in April after a 10-year run.
“He loved the staff and the place,” says mom Christina.
It was all smiles for the 25 partygoers as they navigated
their way through obstacle courses, game stations and various gym
activities before settling down for eats and treats. ●

TIP
“Ask friends for help
and do what you enjoy.
If you like to do DIY
decorations or bake
your own cake, then
do that. Otherwise,
spend where you can
and get as much help
as you can. I had my
friends help specifically
with taking photos and
watching my 2-year-old
toddler.”
