Gimme Five!

Superheroes and a super birthday

It’s birthday time again, and this time I’m famous five! As if that wasn’t special enough, this birthday even came with a party! A proper one with dressing up and all my friends.

I really must be super, because this birthday was filled with Superheroes – in presents, cake and the party theme.

Of all the superheroes, Spiderman was the one who appeared the most – in two toys, a mask and on the cake. But if you check out the big pile of presents in the photo, you can see I got lots of other cool things too.

I’m loving playing my new ‘Guess Who?’ board game – carefully studying the little pictures to check if they have red hair or glasses, then flipping them over (and sometimes flipping them back if I got too carried away) – even if I can’t read the people’s names yet. But then that’s what school will be for.

I’ll be getting creative over winter with all my new activity books – stickers, painting and puzzles. With plenty of dinosaurs too! These ought to help fill in those weekend afternoons if I can get Mummy and Daddy to help me with them.

I’d invited all my friends to my birthday party at a place called Party Kingdom. There were about 10 kids there altogether, though it could have been a lot more since I hadn’t quite understood that only friends who got a paper invitation were actually invited. I was busy telling other kids at daycare that they were invited too.

Luckily they (or their Mum and Dad) obviously didn’t believe it. The cake would never have been big enough for that many people.

Mummy had booked a special party room, which was covered with cool superhero decorations. When we weren’t all racing about in the play area, we sat around the big table in the middle, perfect for laying out all the food and cake. See if you can spot me in the photo - you'd have to be blind as a bat not to!

Another great birthday and another yummy cake from Mummy. But if I've just turned five, that means school must be starting tomorrow. Uh oh...
