Such a short time and in the same time such a long time. He started school, he came out of his shell, he has learnt to read and write, has learnt what "forte", "moderato" means in music, has created friendships, has learnt to ride his bike without stabilisers, created an immaginary friend called "benlaker-from-america", all that and more in a year.
We had his party in Kingsbury waterpark again with the small train (same as his 3rd birthday), but this time invited his whole class thinking half of them surely won't make it. But almost all of them (except his "wife" Chloe and another girl) were there, filling the whole train. Tried to fulfill all of his wishes: angry birds plates, chocolate cake (he didn't care about shape just make it chocolate, so I made a triple choc brownie), loads of balloons, plenty of friends, tableful of presents.
He was so sweet as he blushed when we all sang Happy birthday for him when we brought the cake in. By the way his first sentence was when spotting the 5 candle: "But I am not even 5 yet!!" Trust him grassing his parents up organising a fake birthday party... :-)
So he was double lucky as his party was on a Sunday, we could double celebrate him on 15th of June, Monday again.
Plus Nana and Grandad and Katy-Zander-James-Danny came to our house on Sunday afternoon as well and he was celebrated at school too.
Lucky Mr....I wish my cleverest, most handsome first born a Happy happy 5th birthday! Comes without saying I love you loads and all the things which you expected to happen when you turn 5 will happen any minute, e.g. your arms will be much stronger now, your teeth will fall out all of a sudden, you will dress yourself all alone before going to bed, and you will be able to build a Lego car all alone...xxx
