Happy 3rd birthday Little Fella

 First up, there were more train pieces to incorporate.  Thanks, Daddy, but I'm alright with this

And, when it warmed up a bit, there was a surprise hanging from the tree out back.
Enjoyed by lots of party goers, big and small

Nanna and Grumps came with a DIY activity (which turned into a very excellent yellow wagon)



Mummy and Nicky sharing a cuddle and Dan the Dozer

"Mummy, I love having my friends to play," he says the next morning.  "I love my friends".

Friends to share presents with, cute friends, friends who share their Dora handbags...

....Mummy, Daddy, Nicky...and cake.  Perfect!

This one takes the cake




A work of art (what a Mummy!)

Hiding out for "Happy Birthday"! (I can't get this one around the right way...you get the idea)

 




Picking off the best bits, the best part

   



Is the the REAL Fireman Sam?  Benji's not so sure

Cutting the cake is serious business but...

....what fun to be had inside.

I did find this amusing... luckily, there were no watchers as he certainly isn't quiet. Here's Nicholas on a walk in the Boondall wetlands last weekend. He did a big hunk of this walk on his own but was relieved to be invited back into the backpack.

A day at the park

 Thought I'd share a few recent photos from The Big Park where Nicky joins in with Coach Mick, and a bunch of other happy coconuts, for fun ball games (and stuff) on a Friday morning.  We've now got a lovely habit of meeting up with friends afterwards, enjoying the glorious weather and "sharing" toys in the sandpit.

Looks like trouble
