Dear Matthew
Last Saturday you turned three! We started the day at about
3am where you woke up and demanded that you couldn’t go back to sleep until we
put your shoes on, so you slept the rest of the night with your sneakers on.
When you woke up in the morning we had your kitchen assembled and waiting for
you, however as we’d decorated it with balloons we struggled to get you
interested in it, as the balloons were clearly more exciting! You eventually
also opened your other presents (pots and pans, plastic fruit and veg and some
toy cars) and had fun playing chef.
We then packed up the car and headed to the Russell Brown
Adventure Park for your birthday party. This is a favourite park of yours (I’m
sure I’ve blogged about it previously) and we nabbed a good spot under a shady
tree. Amazingly the weather was perfect (sunny and 29 degrees)! We decorated
the tree and set up food and drinks, and the guests then started to arrive. You
enjoyed playing in the water and especially watching some plastic boats we had
brought along float down the stream with your cousins and friends.
You loved the train cake I had baked for you (an original
from the Women’s Weekly birthday cake book) and have talked about it many times
since that day so I know it was a hit! We sang happy birthday to you and you
happily blew out the candle (twice!). What I loved was after finishing one
piece you then came back and helped yourself to a second, grabbing a new plate
and fork and everything! Classic!
It was a beautiful day and I’m so glad so many of your
little friends (and family members) turned out to celebrate our gorgeous boy. In the evening you washed the car with daddy and then your Grandad and Maree came over for dinner and to watch some soccer, but you and I passed out around 7pm we were so exhausted! Whoops!
The next day your Ma Ma and Gumps came over for the usual Sunday dinner at ours and brought your present - a motorised quad bike! Ma Ma claimed she didn't know it was motorised but you loved the fact that it was (and the box it came in). Such a lucky kid!
Love you birthday boy!
