Party Time

We had Mr Stubborn's 3rd birthday party this morning. I was clever enough to hold it at a park, so minimal clearing up. Uh-huh, I'm all brains.

This year he really seemed to "get it", and the delight on his face when he saw his cake was lovely to see (see pic below, very amateur).

Overall, he was thoroughly spoilt, and peeps were far more generous than they should have been. Thank you for spoiling our littlest man anyway.

The real birthday is not until Tuesday. I am looking forward to it, but know it will be bitter-sweet. I know that another baby really isn't right for us. Heck, I am in the light at the end of the tunnel - nappy free here except for night time. I don't want to be woken at various intervals during the night because someone needs feeding/changing/company. But, oh my, how I would love to have my own personal newborn about NOW to smell their delicious scent, to know that someone is totally dependant on me, to know that we have another person to grow. On the other hand, I just love the fact that my 3 have grown in to reasonable young people. They are happy, considerate (mostly), and full of love. I love that we have helped with that, and that we are helping shape the young adults that they will become.

Aww Jodes. You have done an exceptional job with all three of your children. They are sweet and loving souls.

I doubted the benefits of a park while we were trying to cram everything in the car, but it has saved an awful lot of cleaning before and after!

it sure beats the clean up at home. I found at the park, people felt obliged to do a little tidying themselves ;) . Oh I am cunning...
