Five!

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.

Thanks everybody! Ash had a good time and he seemed to realise the fun of birthdays for the first time this year. He was mighty thrilled that the teacher made him stand beside her and get all the kids in his class to sing Happy Birthday and then help him distribute the chocolates. She sent a few home asking him to give to his parents and sister - which he shared with Mira, but not us :)
I have ordered a Tigger theme cake for Sunday. He feasted on chicken noodles and chilli chicken for dinner - since the dr has told us we can give him a little non-veg - but it has made his face slightly worse off today.

No one can hold a candle to you. Happy Birthday!

Today is your day to shine as every day should be. Happy Birthday!

I hope that your birthday is as wonderful as you are.

God gave a gift to the world when you were born; a person who loves and cares, who sees a person's need and fills it, who encourages and lifts people up, who spends energy on others rather than himself, who touches each life he enters & makes a difference in the world. May the love you have shown to others return to you multiplied.

Don't count the years, count the blessings.

Wishing you a year filled with the same joy you bring to others.

Siva.
