Today, Small was supposed to be spending a special day in Halifax with Ailsa, but yesterday he decided to do horrid and smelly things, so instead I worked from home and kept them with me.
This meant that he was able to have his presents on his birthday. He got Lego (to go with the lego vehicles that Grandma gave him the other day), a handmade microphone (from Big), a Bob the builder card that you can colour in! and money.
He wasn’t overly impressed with the money, I don’t think he understands it yet 😀
The lego was good. He built a dog. And a fishpond. Full of dead fish for the dog to eat. Big made a television out of a cardboard box, and they amused themselves pretty much all day watching monster shows and shakespeares.
It was about this time 4 years ago that we got to meet him. He was angry then, and I’m very pleased to say that hasn’t been his defining characteristic so far. He’s a lovely sunny happy boy, if a little surreal at times. We love him.
Happy birthday Small.
