My birthday

My day started off by opening all my lovely cards and of course Thomas had to help me. We then set off to have lunch at a local Beefeater Restaurant, Thomas was very good but he really didn't like to sit in the baby high chair as he's so used to sitting out our chairs on a booster seat. The waitress was lovely and give Thomas a balloon which he thought was great fun to bash me repeatedly with whilst giggling and chuckling...cheeky boy! One minute it was there the next it was floating up to the ceiling and Thomas's mouth was wide open aghast as it floated away. He kept gesturing and pointing that we should somehow get it back for him but it was a bit too high for us to reach so we ended up getting a new one for him.

We then went to Kent Life Centre which was right next door, we knew there was loads of animal there and thought a certain little gentleman might enjoy it there. We were in the car park and bumped into one of the ladies from his nursery but as this park is about 28acres we didn't see her again! He got very frightened by the noisy geese on the pond and by the noisy sheep in the paddock but he loved looking at the quiet sheep inside, they were all females who'd just given birth to their lambs, one of them was actually in labour when we were there!

Here we are enjoying our lunch.

Here we are looking at the animals.

We came home mid afternoon and Thomas need a nice long sleep (after all the excitement!) so Simon and I assembled an activity centre for T in the garden. After about 30 minutes of trying it this way and then trying it that way (and a few expletives!) we got there...hooray! When Thomas woke up and we opened his curtains and he saw it...WOW!! We rushed downstairs and went outside straight away so he could go down the slide with a WEEEEEEeeee!!

What a lovely birthday!!
