My little man is another year older. Could time please just stop now! How is it that my baby boy is eight years old. So while I was coming to grips with his ageing, he was busy celebrating opening presents, taking phone calls and generally having an awesome day.
Disappointed that he had to go to school on his birthday was buffered with a breakfast out at his favourite cafe before school. Henry couldn't join us because he was in rehearsals for the boys school dance group.
Milkshakes for the kids and a pot of tea for me. Buster only ever orders poached eggs on sourdough toast but today he wanted to try the chocolate chip pancakes. He took a couple of bites and then looked across the table at my poached eggs. He didn't like his pancakes - too sweet. So we did a swap and he had my perfectly poached eggs while I spent the rest of the day feeling sickly from eating his pancakes.
Another perk of the birthday boy was getting some special reading group time with me for 20 minutes at school.
Afternoon time was spent at home with a visit from Nanoo and the lighting of the birthday cake. This year's cake request was for a chocolate cake with Oreos on around and on top.
Thank you to everyone for his birthday presents, cards, calls, best wishes and thoughts.
