Nate is 4!! Ike is 2!! and they celebrated their birthdays at the Lonehill Firestation. Here are the shots I got on my camera, more shots to follow when I get them off the photographer on Tuesday.
Ike woke up late at about 8am! one of the latest he has slept. Had a big smile on his face and was very cheerful, but all that faded as the day wore on. Maybe those child guides on birthdays are right, invite 2 friends if the child is 2 and 3 friends if the child is 3... he was very clingy the whole party and did not seem to enjoy himself except in the beginning as the Clamber Club people did their set up and the end when it was cake time. My left arm today is sore from carrying him about. Ikey was probably sick though... he didn't eat much, not even the sushi placed in front of him.
Ike not happy on the fire truck... later tho he did sit quietly for the ride. The lock to secure the towel in the bathroom! I guess Malaysia is not the only place they lock towels, toilet paper etc... Michelle testing the pole, had to remind her its a kiddies party but it was also her actual birthday yesterday and she made full use of that priviledge (more photo's later of her birthday party).
The party planner, Belinda, did a wonderful job (www.cherrytreeevents.co.za) and I am glad she convinced me out of having a fire eater and juggler as the kids are small... she instead hired Clamber Club who brought party equipment and two very energetic young men to play games and entertain the kids for over 1.5 hours.
Then we had pizza making time and 3 fire truck rides so all the kids could go (the fire master was very nice to throw in an extra free ride!), I suspect many adults enjoyed the ride much more. I got to sit with Ike in the front. The sirens and hooting was quite exciting! Then the firemen let them play with the big hose.
Will post pics of the cake and other stuff soon! Nate said the best part of the party is the presents! this year, they are allowed to open a present a day, so far that is going quite well. They play with the toy at least for a day instead of being confused with so many toys. Nate looks forward to opening a gift every morning. Thanks everyone for the great gifts... we're not sure what they all are yet but am sure they are great!
