Happy Birthday Brandon

It's hard to believe that our first little boy is now 5 years old, and that he will be starting school next month. Time does truly go very very fast! And what an amazing little boy he is at 5: funny, funny, funny, smart, sensitive, and for the most part well mannered and polite especially when in the company of those other than his parents! A lover of all things boy.......loves cars, Lego, wrestling, racing, crashing things, smashing things.....obsessed with superheroes of all shapes and sizes, but right now the Avengers and Transformers are particular favourites as you can see from his party theme but also from his room, which is absolutely littered with superheroes and transformer toys. At times I thinks he's convinced that he is really a transformer himself......always transforming himself around the house complete with sounds effects before he leaps into a battle pose ready to fight the baddies! The easiest way to Brandon's heart is through his stomach.......he can be easily bribed through snacks and treats. "Can i please have a snack" is probably the most commonly uttered phrase from his mouth. It really is amazing how much he has changed, achieved and developed and how independent he has become in so many areas of his life. His independence is often very much only skin deep, because under the surface he is still so emotionally reliant in every possible way on his family and parents. Much to our delight he is also a big boy who still loves to have lots of cuddles with his Mum and Dad, he's such an affectionate kid. We just love him so much.

Yet another amazing birthday cake for the boys, thanks to our good friends Shawn and Janice.
