It was my birthday on Monday and Louis Adam was so excited. On Sunday he said to me "Mammy, your birthday is not until August, mine is tomorrow"! August is when it is his birthday of course!
So on Sunday night we only had 2 hours sleep as he must have been so excited about the next day what I call his non-birthday! We were so exhausted on Monday morning and had our breakfast before I went upstairs to wake him but he was so tired I could not wake him up at all! In the end I did not have the heart to try much more so we telephoned the school and told them what had happened and they agreed to keep him off school for the day (of course I did not mention it was my birthday in case they thought that was why I kept him off school)! We decided to go back to bed so we could go back to sleep as we could not keep our eyes open!
So, at around 10.30am we woke up and Louis Adam was still fast asleep so I had to wake him up. He did not want to get up either until I reminded him about my birthday!
When Louis Adam had eaten his breakfast his grandma reminded him about my birthday and he started to sing Happy Birthday! However, it was very grudging and he started to cry near the end as he thought he was not getting a present. I then gave him his present of a toy helicopter and a card which he absolutely loves. He then gave me the other cards and presents rather less grudgingly.
I then had to go shopping for birthday tea food as I knew he would want a birthday cake. On the afternoon I decided that he was not going to get out of his education altogether that day. I took him to the Ski Slope to the lake with the ducks. On the way there we did a Springwatch like on the Green Balloon Club on Cbeebies. We looked at the buds on the trees, the flowers, and the birds as well as hoof prints and much more! He had a great time and it was a great way of him enjoying his learning. He did not mind that he did not have any bread to feed the ducks as I had forgotton it!
The birthday tea was what I used to have when I was little and Louis Adam loved it! Of course he blew the candles our but he really enjoyed it! He thinks he should have all 4 birthdays and he loves it!
So next time you need to think of something for children to do try a spring watch and look for all of the signs of spring it may just keep them busy!
