Present time!
Thank you everyone for all the great gifts.
Roar!
3pm and it's time to party!
The party gets underway.
The trampoline got a good workout.
As did Hannah, the fabulous party entertainer.
Time to eat.
Cakes! We decorated them with Jelly Beans which are Zach's favourite.
Andy brandishes the knife. I got slightly worried he was going to use it on the stampeding children!
Zach was thrilled with his cakes.
The party had a jungle theme. The animal cake was meant to be a lion but looked more like a monkey.
The beautiful birthday boy.
Birthday pjs.
He got to choose whatever he wanted to do in the morning and he chose to stay home and have chocolate pancakes which is what we do every Friday! We had a party for him at home in the afternoon which was a lot of fun. It was pretty big, 48 children and lots of parents but was actually fairly chilled and relaxing. Apart from when rained threatened just before it started and I freaked out slightly. We had a great party entertainer which made things a lot easier. Dinner was pizza, sausages, cucumber, carrots, hommous, bread and strawberries followed by banana chocolate and coconut cake. Which was actually two big cakes and cupcakes as well. Yum.
The past year with Zach has been our most challenging to date. When he is lovely he is so very very lovely but it's been his year to push the boundaries and boy, has he done so! It's all part of growing up though and I am trying to get through it without losing my patience too much. He is having a wonderful time at school and I'm so proud of how well he has taken to it. He got a wonderful school report which said he is always smiling and lights up everyone's day. Awww. His teacher also said she'd like to develop his listening skills. So would I!
Zach is 104cm tall and weighs 15.8kgs. His favourite colour is blue. His favourite singer is Justin Bieber and his favourite song is Never Say Never. At the weekend what he likes to do best is play. His favourite food is curry and his favourite drink is chocolate milk. His favourite book is I Love My Mummy and the thing that makes him happier than anything else is....mummy!
Zach is a lovely brother. He is still Daisy's number one fan although the bigger and more boisterous Bastie gets, the more they are playing together. He loves kicking a ball around, jumping on the trampoline, wrestling, dancing, lego, playing with cars, colouring, being read to and being really really loud. Really REALLY loud!
We are looking forward to another exciting year with Zach. Now he is four he will be starting rugby next season and I'm sure he is going to continue doing brilliantly in his swimming lessons. All in all, he's pretty wonderful and we are very lucky to have him.
