I read somewhere once that 4 is the age where toddlerhood ends and childhood begins. I am finding it hard to accept that my little baby Miles is already at his boyhood but it seems he is. He is noticeably taller, more articulate and more 'boy-like' than 'baby-like'. He was my fat, squidgy little Milesy, who lived on my back and at my breast and now he is a strong, slim and handsome little man.
He had a very good fourth birthday. We went to the home educator's Christmas party in the morning after he had opened a couple of presents. Here the boys are, helping me to carry the sandwiches I made to contribute.
At the Christmas party the boys made sheep masks which they used with a sheepskin each on their backs to be sheep in the nativity. We had a chat about what Christmas means to some people and about Christianity. Miles wanted to be the baby Jesus so he lay down on his sheepskin rug in the manger area for a lot of the time.
Here they are decorating biscuits with icing sugar (snow) and edible pine trees and silver balls.
Scoffed!!
Miles being the baby Jesus and Caden being a sheep.
We went to pick up a gift for Miles from Ian at lunch time. Miles chose a remote controlled tarantula. He was absolutely determined to have it.
Then we met some friends at Splash Zone at Gulliver's Land in MK. Miles really loves it there and the water was really warm, they played for about two hours and had a brilliant time together. Then we did the cake. Caden was very gracious to Miles this year, he was understanding about the presents being Miles' and not his and he did his best to make Miles feel special on his birthday. It's lovely to see him being considerate to Miles.
