We live in a little village near the city center. All the nannies know each other and hang out with the kiddies every day via the park, library and play dates. They're like this little posse that hang out every day and the nannies are all awesome. Often I'll get home to the twins hanging out at the house or a few other of their closer friends stuck in the boys toy box.
For Benjamin's birthday, I planned a little party at the local park for all the nannies and kidlings. The wind was terrible, so it turned in to a little impromptu party at our house. It was chaos, but super fun. A lot of cake, ice cream, fizzers, fizz pops, watermelon, fruit, muffins and cheese curls were consumed. We did a little Thomas the Tank Engine theme and everyone got a little party pack.
I had to run back to work for an hour, but there were enough nannies at my house to run a large creche at that point. Noah was such a proud big brother and so protective over Ben the whole day. The kids had such a great time.
More than anything, it was warming to see how many friends the boys have. That they have a little social life now and that they're being stimulated and active during the day. I'm so lucky that I could keep them out of school for this long - Noah only starts next year at age four, and if I could I would hold off until grade R, but hey. That's a blog post for another day.
It was a really great day and I'm so happy for the boys. Tomorrow is the weekend party with our family and friends. I cannot wait to see and celebrate with everyone. Benjamin is beside himself at all the birthday love. Such a special, lucky little boy.
