Simon Says

Elijah recently discovered some Windows software which enables him to make films together from music, photo and videos we have on the computer. Here is his first video - made off his own back, without any help. Not bad, eh?

At bedtime tonight Elijah and I were talking about the day. I said to Elijah, "Thing is Elijah, I am still learning how to be a daddy." Elijah nodded with deep seriousness and sighed, "and I'm still learning how to be a teenager"!!!

I know he seems so young but Elijah and graduated. Together with his friends from his Reception class he graduated at the end of the school term from the Foundation stage (Nursery and Reception) before moving onto Key Stage 1. He wore a mortar board and receieved his certificate from the headmistress. Ezra was able to watch the whole event and is already looking forward to his graduation next year :-)

Daddy woke him the following morning with a gentle chorus of "Happy Birthday to you". He smiled, woke and sat up - in that order. "It's my birthday!!!" he said, through a huge smile.

Well done Elijah and Ezra and well done (mostly) Mummy and (sometimes) Daddy for actually getting them up and out!!! The accompanying photos are self-explanatory. Join the celebration!
