Last night I told Che that three years ago I had pains in my belly and I knew he was coming. Daniel told him I was making noises like: "oohhh, ooohhhh, ooohhh". When we had family and friends over this afternoon for cake and celebrations Che told them that three years ago: "...I was a baby and the umbilical cord was on my belly button and Daddy cut it."
The fact that he's old enough to retell his birth story (or at least snippets of it) just mesmerizes me.
This morning he ventured into the lounge room to find a tee pee and some surprises within it. Last week he told me he wanted a strawberry cake (I was so relieved that I didn't have to mold sponge cake into a rocket ship) and I immediately opened to Sipi's Strawberry Cake in the stunningly beautiful Falling Cloudberries. While he played this morning I baked and then we ventured to the beach and the park for play in the sun and birthday treats (dixie cup ice-cream).
He really gets the 'birthday' thing now which means he really is getting big. He's such a big, little boy but he'll always be my baby.
Happy happy birthday Che Che. Thank you so very much for making me a Muma. It's the very best thing I've ever done. I love you so much, even more and even more again. xxx
Happy birthday little Che ... oh i love that tee pee.

ReplyDeleteHow exciting for your little family! I love the tee pee! Do they come in big people sizes?
ReplyDeletebig people can fit in this one (just not standing up). I've put floor cushions on the bottom so it's pretty cosy in there. I plan to keep a basket with a rotating collection of pictures books in there). It's pretty special.
ReplyDeleteawww he is so big now Jodi, happy birthday Che ;0)

ReplyDeleteHave not visited in awhile, so I thought I would stop by and see what's new. :) I'm sure my boys would LOVE to hang out in his tee pee and look at books. We used to have a frog tent that I cozied up in the same way. :) Happy birthday to your little (& quickly growing) Che!
ReplyDeleteBtw, if you're interested in checking it out, I just started a new blog... The Wiferson Handbook. Would love for you to stop by and say hi sometime!
Happy Birthday to little Che! My sweet son turns 3 on October 16th, and I've been having some of the same thoughts. How can he possibly be old enough to really grasp the concept that this is his birthday - the day he entered the world and left mama's belly?!
ReplyDeleteThat cake looks wonderful! I wish strawberries were in season here.
3 already??? How did that happen? He does look older, especially that second photo! Love that tee pee. Can I ask the details? I have only seen in colour. I love that neutral :) glad you had a great day. That cake looks delish!
ReplyDeleteFeeling a bit emotional after reading that beautiful post. Love. He looks so so big, and yet, he is just a little boy in this big world - always your sweet baby. Love the cake, heck I love it all.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Che Che. x (and to you Jodi!) x
