It's party time

8 four and 5 year olds for two fun filled hours. That was our day! What party! What fun!

How exhausted were we by the end of the day but it was so worth it. A motorbike ride and some quiet play with the awesome presents that were received nicely brought the day to a close.

What was nice was that there were no tears or tantrums or carry on (and that was me!!) In fact I felt so organised I managed an early morning gym session!

It has been a wonderful celebration of turning 5. Have a fantastic year my dear Mario!!

Mario turns 5!!

Tuesday morning saw Mario wake up to being 5! A little bleary eyed but excited (it was 5.45am!!) Mario wandered into the lounge room eyeing his presents. The first thing he saw was a badge saying "I am 5" which is great but it was sitting on top of his main present .... a motorbike! Took a while to sink in that it was his and once it did there was no getting off!! Even breakfast was eaten on the bike.

That afternoon Mario and Peter went riding and it was like a duck to water. The balance was incredible and he was already asking to do jumps. By the time I got home from work he was zipping around doing great stuff and loving every moment.

We celebrated quietly at home. Mario wanted takeaway Chinese and we made a yummy chocolate cake for dessert which Mario proudly chopped up for us.

The next post will be the birthday celebration with all his mates. What a fun day it was!

Happy birthday dearest Mario!!!! Mummy and Daddy love you lots!!
