Happy Birthday Double Digits !!

Happy Birthday my lad.  Happy Birthday my pride and joy.  Happy Birthday and thank you for the ten years that made a boy of you and a man of me.  My mirror and my conscious, my most precious creation and never broken promise.  I stand behind you with a careful hand upon your ever rising shoulder and point the way to take you toward the brilliant light and away from the darkness of failure that is all around.  My firstborn…my eldest, my brilliant son.  Happy Tenth Birthday.

Who says you don’t ever get ‘deep’ from me ‘eh.  Just an expression of a decade of joy and nervous stress at all times.  From a baby that sat in my hand to his own hand almost the dimension of mine.  It’s a lot to take on, but Birthdays are super cool fun and man did ‘The Thinker’ have a good time today!

The Birthday

 We kicked off early with the opening of the pressies.  A grand haul was gotten and again I would like to thank everyone on my son’s behalf for their generosity he was more than pleased with everything.  After this I had to go out for a while but I brought back the annual traditional helium filled balloon!  As you can see he keen on holding it (I remember he used to get hours of fun out of one, but then he was two!).

Got my balloon, its party time!

 This afternoon we all headed out in a small convoy of cars to the Activity Barn for the Birthday Party.  My good lady was totally correct in her assumption that all the kids would want to do was run about madly and then eat themselves silly.  So two hours passed in sweaty mayhem, rebounding footballs and bouncy castle fun.

A small part of the hall taking in the bouncy castle.

Come on people cheer! Huzzah for the Birthday Boy!

He behaved himself well and more kids than I expected turn up.  It was just as well that we catered for forty!

This evening will be spent with a video or two and perhaps a pizza.  I don’t know about the children…but I need a rest 🙂

Happy Birthday !!!

    • Thanks Tony. He says ‘Thank you’ back. I am just putting him down for the night now.

      A very hectic day indeed.

  1. Wow! What a big day for a young lad. Lucky young man. I remember being ten… Looking out of my bedroom window on the turn of the millenium, expecting to see ultra-modern utopia appear overnight.

    Ahh, those were the days!

    I do hope he got some books to read!

    • Thanks Rob,

      At the turn of the millenium! I was twenty one! Ah, takes me back, no net, few phones, better music (well a bit!). Here we are in the second decade of the 21st century and still no robots or moon living.

      He got a little pile of books plus what he won last week he has plenty to read. He gets through about one to two paperbacks for his age group a week.
