An early celebration!

Mum and Dad came up to see us today and we celebrated Richard's 2nd Birthday a day early, cause tomorrow his Daddy will be back at work and Pop wouldn't have been able to make it either. And if we are honest Richard doesn't know any different this year!

He thought it was great all the presents to unwrap, everyone singing to him and of course the candles on the cake. That wasn't quite so exciting this year as with the tummy bug doing the rounds we decided to let a healthy baker do the work, and bought just a piece of apple cake. But it looked the part with 2 candles stuck in it and that is the main thing.

Richard got a Doodle Drawing board (a magnetic one), a CD player, a CD story book of Thomas the Tank Engine, Tigger pyjamas, 2 more story CDs and some money to buy something when he needs it (like new shoes in the spring!) He did get a new winter coat with Bob the Builder on it. BUT he won't go anywhere near it. We are not even allowed to try it on him. I wouldn't have thought a 2-year-old could have that strong an opinion - but he has!! He had his coat early so that he could use it straight away, but the little monster won't even try it on!!!!

Mum is staying with us now until Thursday, so we are all excited about that, Dad went back home, he has to work, but he is letting us "borrow Nanna"!

Bye 4 now

Glad you had a good day and a good celebration for the birthday. Good call on the cake, I would have to agree, let someone else make the cake. We usually don't celebrate on the birthday around here either, easier to do on a weekend. It's amazing how determined the little ones can be when they set their minds to it...when they put their foot down that's it. I know, I have a very stubborn 5 year old. Have fun with your mom for the week. Take care and Blessings to you.
