A bitter sweet birthday

Our big little man turned 5 yesterday, a big day to celebrate in anyones books, but his celebration was dampened somewhat by unforeseen events the night before.
Our poor wee man suffered through the night with a horrible stomach bug, he was so brave with it, but still feeling the effects the next day and absolutely exhausted from it all.

Never the less, we decorated his birthday table for him........and he perked up a bit when he spied the presents....


He admired the cake..... (but never ate it)


he did manage to taste a lolly........ (with a smile too)


He was so looking forward to his day, especially the days menu which he had spent all week (and before) planning for.
He really wanted the cocopops he had eagerly requested for breakfast, but when faced with a bowl of them he just couldnt so........ His little sister cleaned up his helping for him......


The presents did evoke a few smiles .......



The audience was ever present to cheer on the birthday present opening proceedings.....




a couple more smiles (which I'm pleased I caught on camera)


a couple of presents admired and played with..... including the homemade turtle (yes that is stitching coming apart already!!!!)




Then the morning birthday celebrations candle was formally extinguished by the man himself



and the energy lacking wee man opted to spend the next few hours were opted to be spent in front of a DVD......


Poor wee thing, rotten luck really.

He managed to muster some strength to blow the cake candles that night.....


and he really did enjoy the 5 books (one for each of his years)  he had read to him by his Papa.....



Happy birthday our very special big little man.
