The Little Man Gets Bigger

Oliver was 6 today.

As I am sure you can imagine, the build up to this, for him, has been immense. We have had days of 'how many sleeps now Mum?' so it was inevitable that we had an early start to the day.

Noises started from 4am, with him making a more concerted effort from 4.30am, and we finally relented at 5.30am for him to open his presents.

A fairly full on day followed. We took him out for breakfast, then friends came over for a barbecue (he requested a barbecue) and he ran around like a lunatic with them playing all sorts of games, then in the late afternoon we headed over to Granny and Grampy's for his birthday dinner ( a ritual on the Oliver side of the family).

He's been a very lucky boy and got a lot of nice presents and he has had a good day, and went to sleep pretty quickly at 8 this evening (thankfully!)
