birthday boys

The boys' birthdays are just 10 days apart. Solomon was a bit perturbed that his brother's birthday comes first in the month even though Felix is younger.

Felix was 2 years old on 150507:



All-singing, all-swaying Noddy doll was happily received!



Crane with magnetic ability to haul blocks was also a big hit.




On 250507, Solomon turned 4:

We made dozens of yummy frosted cupcakes for his party, but on his actual birthday Sol chose another cake from the supermarket. It actually tasted alright!



Sol sometimes plays with a tub of proper Lego at Grandma's house, but this is the first set he's been given for his very own. He and Daddy have since spent a whole afternoon putting it all together while Mommy distracted Felix with other play fare!



A day later, however, it was back to ye olde Mega-Blocks, seemingly constant occupier of the living room floor...


Soli had to wait a whole 9 days after his actual birthday to host his 4th birthday party, but a fun (though entirely unphotographed) time was had by all at the secret widlife centre at the top of Greenwich Park.
