Ashwin celebrates his 5th birthday today.
He took a box of Kitkat to distribute in class and a Thankyou card for his teacher (which said: Thank you for being what you are and what you do... May life always smile on you. One of the least mushy thankyou cards I could find in Landmark). I think it made his teacher very happy and she thanked V for it when he went to pick up Ash.
We hope to take him out for dinner or get some Chinese take-away, since he has said he'd like noodles. The cake-cutting can wait till Sunday when his paternal grandparents arrive. From a Noddy cake (which model our regular baker doesnt have), he has changed his mind to a Mickey Mouse cake (probably from watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse in the morning during his oil massage). But we have already got him a Mickey Mouse cake on an earlier birthday, so I need to look up some other patterns that might catch his fancy - a tiger or a train are his other suggestions.
Mira says she'd like a Tintin cake - she is rather enamoured of the Boy Reporter! Maybe we have a reporter in the budding here.
