Today was the first day of spring and Tom's first birthday. We celebrated yesterday with a small party in his honour. A handfull of friends (both ours and Ela's) and family helped us wish Tom a happy birthday. Nannie made a train cake and big sis helped to blow out the candle and make a wish for Tom. She told us that she wished he could get more presents. He was very spoiled with plenty of boys toys and lots of 'in the night garden' toys - his favourite show. Typically, he didn't want to go down for his morning sleep and was still asleep when the first guests arrived, but although he was a bit grumpy when I woke him, he soon perked up when he saw all the kiddies runnign around and making loads of noise. Thanks to everyone who turned out on a wet and windy day to make his day so lovely.
Today, on his actual birthday, we drove across the city to his new child-care Banksia Cottage, where he will start on Wednesday. We met the staff and looked around the possum room where he will be spending 2 days a week. It was a long drive (about 90mins) but I was able to time it so that he slept both ways. Unfortunately, come wednesday I won't be so fortunate. Fingers crossed he doesn't mind sitting in traffic and listening to the radio!
