I cannot believe I have got to the 13th of December and not wrote about Freddie's 3rd Birthday!
The day started early thanks to big brother wanting us to get up, but we managed to get him to calm down and let Freddie sleep!
Once Freddie was awake James insisted on singing Happy Birthday to him in bed before we all went downstairs to start opening his presents!
To be honest I think Freddie was totally overwhelmed at the sight of his presents and it did take him a good while to get through opening them all! He loved the fact he now has a scooter like James and he was loving riding it around the house!
Mummy had to go to Tesco as she had forgotten to buy a candle for the birthday cake! So once mummy was home it was time for her to start cooking up all the party food for when Nana and Gaga came down at lunch time! Poor mummy didn't actually sit down from 1030am till 1 pm and was absolutely exhausted by bed time!
I think apart from the scooter, Freddie's favourite present had to be Boris the Fingerling hug from Nana and Gaga! They had got one for James for his birthday back in August and Freddie was totally obsessed with it, so they decided to get him his own and he adores it! It gets played with virtually every day!!
Gaga had made Freddie a dairy free cake complete with gummy bears on instead of chocolate buttons! Both boys adored the cake and made a lot of mess when eating it!
Two weeks later and I still can't believe we have a three year old lmao! I still keep accidentally calling him a two year old and Daddy has to keep correcting me!
There is such a big difference between James at 3 and Freddie at 3! For example with James you could have a full blown conversation and Freddie is only just starting to string short sentences together!
So thats a brief insight into Freddie turning Three!
Welcome back to another week of Living Arrows hosted by Donna over at What The Redhead Said. If you are new to this then the name of the linky comes from the poem by Kahlil Gibran "You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth"
This has been a pretty busy and fun week for James and Freddie as we finished the weekend with Freddie's 3rd Birthday!
James has been pretty busy at school as they are gearing up not only for the Key Stage 1 Christmas show, but also the project outcome for their essential question of "What Mysteries Does The Sea Hold?" He has been singing a sea shanty none stop for the last couple of weeks, so mummy is really looking forward to going to see what they have learned this term!
Freddie has had a lovely week at playgroup and he went bouncing in with a smile on his face both days! Mummy can't believe that come January he will be in everyday except a Friday!
When mummy went to pick him up on Tuesday they had to shout for him four times to come to the door to meet mummy! He absolutely loves going to playgroup and I think it has done him the world of good! I only wish we had been able to do something like that for James at the same age! And when we walked up on Wednesday, well thank goodness mummy had sense to put Freddie's wellies on as he literally jumped in every puddle between our house and the school!
For Freddie's birthday we decided to invite Nana and Gaga to the house and have a small party with party food and cake! We decided to have a quiet day as next year he will actually be at school on his birthday and we will have probably had a party for his school friends on the weekend before!
Our photos for this week were actually taken on Freddie's birthday! Freddie absolutely adores his new scooter and he also got a car track which he loves to share with James
