Our birthday boy

Four years old!  What a momentous day.  Somehow four seems very grown up, in a way that three just wasn't.

Some highlights from today:

--Opening presents in the morning
--Going to a cafe for breakfast
His right eyelid is swollen from an unfortunate mozzie bite yesterday.

--Having his whole class sing him Happy Birthday upon arriving to school.
--Having cake at teatime, and Arram being brought in from Babies to join him for tea
--Making a birthday crown
--Receiving birthday cards from his friends
--Being brought to ELEPHANT RESTAURANT for dinner, just like he wanted!
--A wristwatch with hands, just like Daddy
--A Jack the Goat story at bedtime, written just for him by Grandpa

Restaurant conversation:

Mama, who's that?
That's Buddha.
Buddha has curly hair like me.
