Matthew's 6th Birthday

Dear Matthew and Toby

We recently celebrated your sixth birthday Matt! Your actual birthday fell on a Tuesday this year, so on the Sunday before that we had a party at Crocs for you and all your friends. Your lovely aunty Robyn made you a Ben 10 cake (as this is your latest craze) and you had a brilliant time playing on the indoor playground with everyone.

On your actual birthday we gave you your presents, which included a fully stocked art cart (as you love arts and crafts), binoculars, a PlayStation game and some Ben 10 figurines. Being a school day, I had the pleasure of joining you in the classroom. You got to wear the 'birthday hat' and sit on the 'birthday chair' and during your Indonesian class the class sang happy birthday to you in Indonesian. That evening your nanna and Darryl joined us for dinner and we had your favourite pasta of ravioli and carbonara sauce.

Matt you have been such a blessing. You made us parents and you teach us all about life. It was such a joy to celebrate you turning 6 and watch all the joy you experienced being surrounded by your friends and family. Thank you for being such an incredibly caring, empathic, cheeky son!! We love you beautiful boy.

Love,

Sports Carnival

Dear Matthew and Toby

Recently on a beautiful Spring day we had your first sports carnival Matt. It was so exciting to see you take part. The first event was the sprint, I'm not sure how long it was but you did really well. You then did a few team activities - such as the jumping sacks race, and a game where you put rings on cones. It was so great to see everyone taking part but it being non-competitive, there were no ribbons given out and no winners for team events.

It was a great way to ease you into competition and I'm so glad your wonderful teachers kept it so fun.

Love you boys,

Sleepover at Nanna's and the Royal Show





Dear Matthew and Toby

Another fun thing that you got to do during the school holidays Matt was go for a sleepover at Nanna and Darryl's house with your cousin Harry. As you can see from the photos below, you were super pumped! We got text updates during the evening that the both of you were enjoying sleeping in the tent Darryl had set up for you.

In the morning you were lucky enough to also visit the Royal Show with nanna and all of your cousins. From memory you had only been to the show one other time when you were a toddler with your dad (and covered him with animal poo from the exhibits!) but this time you got to go on rides and buy showbags. I would always get so excited choosing showbags as a kid (my cousins and I would pour over the showbag guide that came in the paper for weeks before the show, trying to decide how we would spend our designated $10). You even got to stay and enjoy the firework display, so you weren't home until quite late. It was the longest you'd been away from home and we missed you so much but am so glad you had a great time! Tobes I think you had a great time having one-on-one time with Ma Ma and Gumps then your parents that day too!

Love you both,
