'Look Mummy - now I'm 4 I can undo my buttons by myself - even in the dark'. It was dark because it was still far too early in the morning. The birthday girl was wide awake and raring to go. She had decided exactly how she wanted to spend her birthday, and it went something like this:
Breakfast - potato waffles, eaten on the sofa. Then off to swimming in the bike trailer, with Daddy and Miss I. Back for flapjack with candles in, which were re-lit many times accompanied by multiple renditions of Happy Birthday. Off to Sainsbury's to buy items for the rainbow themed birthday party tomorrow, such as stripey cups, stripey straws and fruit to make rainbow kebabs. Lunch was baked beans on toast (I drew the line at eating that on the sofa). In the afternoon we cycled down to the canal (Miss A on the tagalong, Miss I on the bike seat) and enjoyed refreshments overlooking the water, followed by swan feeding. Tea was sausages and mash, eaten again on the sofa.
Interspersed with all this activity was a lot of card opening (amazing how many times the postman made deliveries to our letter box today), and present unwrapping. Particular favourites were the wooden skittles, books and lego. Blowing up the balloons was also quite exciting. The birthday girl is now sleeping, gathering energy for the party tomorrow.
