Happy Cake


4 September – Thursday

Although it is 13 days early, today was designated Jack’s birthday so that all his grandparents could help him celebrate. After all, at his age, he isn’t really aware of the date – a “happy cake” (birthday cake) is all that is important to him. Jack’s father also suggested that Jack might like to receive his birthday presents early, rather than late.

We decided on a basic Thomas the Tank Engine set (almost compulsory for 2 year old boys!) and this proved to be a hit. Jack’s language is still at the very repetitive stage so there were lots of, “Nanny, train, toot toot.” A Chinese cake doubled as a perfect happy cake with two candles and Jack managed to blow out both on his own. This was followed by lunch – lots of prawns, chicken and fish. Very yummy.

Today it rained and the small creek beside the caravan is now a large creek.
