Well, well, the big boy turned 5 this January! Smarter, more independent, taller, heavier and naughtier, no joke! It is all a journey we truly treasure. It is an annual recollection 'of the day Sanju arrived'.
On his birthday eve, hubby was telling Sanju his birth story 'your mother was in pain when she was brought to the hospital'. Sanju's eyebrows wrinkled with concern 'why pain? She sick?'
We got the kids their pre-birthday presents, their Big Hero 6 toy figurines they waited ages (read 2 weeks) to have!
In receiving the new toys they took the eternal oath of loving and caring for their toys from better to worst, rich to poor, hunger to thirst, from Disney to DisneyXD... etc
And just moments later at home...
Lets just say that hubby and I had a 'ball' fixing it back together. We sure learn something new every day!
The day started with a little celebration with the kindy friends.
Followed by a simple get together with family at home, with a homemade & home decorated cake by the Mr. Appa himself!
In the past I would have felt that kindy celebration is perhaps over-rated, but it feels more fun going over with a cake, celebrating with lil friends, and then giving them their goodie bags. Birthday kid gets to share his/her happiness with friends and shower them with little tokens of friendship. What better way to foster friendship and togetherness from a young age!
In conjunction with our (Sanju and I) birthday month, here's presenting our version of Ju-on kid, called Sanju-on. Hope you don't get nightmares!
