Your birthday was super fun dude. All your favorite friends came, you were spoiled something wonderful and you had a really, really great time! A few highlights:
1. You got a little love note from Gia, the girl you've been mad about since your first day at school last year! It's way too 'personal' to put up here, but you and Gia are just the cutest little things together. She got a big jump-tackle bear cub hug from you - a series of images below somewhere!
2. Daddy got daddy-attacked on the jumping castle. You LOVED seeing all your friends play with your dad like that. It was really sweet! We almost couldn't get the jumping castle but your Gaga made sure you did - dankie mamma!
3. You pretty much only invited girls to your party. Out of the 14 kids that came and went - only three were boys and one of those was a nine month old. We need to talk about this. I think?
4. You helped bake and decorate your birthday cake. You LOVED your birthday cake. I think?
5. All the kids you like have really cool parents. I had so much fun chatting to all the moms and some serious play dating is commencing soon.
6. Benjamin was really withdrawn the whole day. I guess you were the same at his party. You just know it's not about YOU and that would bum any kid out. You did let him 'help' unwrap a gift or two, which was really sweet of you!
7. Your friend Gemma came all the way from another town to come to your party. She is at another school now but told her mom that you were her best friend at school. She got a jump-tackle hug and spent a lot of time being shy. You have people that really like and care about you, which makes me so glad. Happy hearts are contagious!
8. I always make too party much food. I always leave things super last minute. I ALWAYS have punch or wine at a children's party (getting all the important things right). I wore a dress to your party I mean COME ON TASH. I think the whole park saw my bum and my 'bridget jones' beige granny panties several times. Sorry my boy.
9. The train park place has been upgraded under new ownership - everything's been fixed and organized and refurbished. There's a zip-line and more tracks and better tables etc - we'll need to go back again soon with your new bicycle!
10. I am so proud of you - you're so social and polite and kind. You're fun and funny and you seem to have a handful of really good friends that like you right back. I really hope that you remember all these kids later, they're all SO great. Gia, Tyla and Casey seem to be your closest friends right now.
You're super outgoing and confident and smart and my boy you are going to move MOUNTAINS one day. Happiest birthday to you - until next year, keep growing in the same direction. I love you! Big like trains and mountains and ten thousand million Spider-Mans.
