Jimmy's turning one...
And I'm starting to get excited!
I was trying to play it cool, because, well, you know, it's not like he's going to remember it... We just need a cake and photos of Jimmy with said cake, a book or small toy as a gift to mark the occasion, something to take back to Australia, a few Skype dates with family and friends, and just generally make it a nice day, and later, once Jimmy is in bed, Michael and I can get all nostalgic about the little man's birth and those hazy, but intense, newborn days.
But then a package arrived from Jimmy's Grandma...
And then another, from a close friend, who we call Auntie K...
And then the jumper I've been working on started to look like I might finish it in time (not that it's cold enough, but you know)...
And this is after buying things to make a carry-on-friendly growth chart...
I've even done a trial run on the birthday cake, because our oven and the recipe needed testing...
Granny and Pop are sending something too...
And now there is a pool party organised for our Swimmy Jimmy - oh I hope the weather is nice next Saturday!
