Arthur

Yesterday was the baby's birthday.  But, he's not so much of a baby.  He turned the big 5!!!! Which is great because a couple of months ago, when it was his brothers birthdays he suddenly stated 'I'm going to be f&*kin 4 forever'. 

However, he's been sick for most of the week.  He cancelled his birthday yesterday and refused to let anyone so much as look at his cake or his balloons.  Today, however, he is very much on the mend.  To the extent that he was sitting on the topmost stair in the house today at 6am shouting that he was hungry.  And, 'why are we trying to kill him by not feeding him' etc. etc.  Yesterday he told us he would die if we didn't give him something to eat!  Yup!!

We were only trying to do the right thing (m'lord) by not feeding him considering how he puked exactly 4 minutes after he drank anything.  Anyway, he is on the mend and today we get to celebrate his birthday.  Mind you, we started celebrating it last weekend with the nana and the granddad and the mad granny and the odd aunts and cousins and new boyfriends and mates and sister and brothers.    But today we get to eat cake.  So here ya go, some photos of the birthday boy.  Getting paler and paler as they go on.  Poor chap.  Y'see, now that he's better and less whingy I can be nice to him again.

This was on the bank holiday Monday.  It was wet and rainy so we had a party.

Deep breath . . . . . .  . . .

Doesn't it look like Arthur really, REALLY loves this cake? 

This is how he looked on his actual birthday.  Poor chap. 

Yay, the day after the birhtday day?!  Yup, these ae the balloons that frightened the life out of earlier in the week.  He's playing his Mario Galaxy Game 2!!!!!! (Squeallll) game that we just picked up.  It was his birthday present btw.  My five year old wanted games!  When Harry was five he wanted k'nex.  Arthur wants computer type stuff. 

This is the official cake!  A game!!!!!  Where oh where has my baby gone?
