Today a boy turns five
a boy with a brow furrowed in concentration as he draws
a boy who engages in raucous sword fights
a boy who loves “cool stuff”, like super heroes and action figures
a boy who wonders about magic, wicked witches, fairies and dragons
a boy who’s not too old for cuddles and fairy bread.
Happy birthday Rex, my delightful, challenging, tender, noisy, beautiful boy.
We had a party on the weekend at a local park with kids galore, games, playing, eating, present opening and lots of shiny stuff. And a cake shaped like a dragon, of course (inspired by a google search and some like this).
[And the magnificent hobby-dragon (like a hobby-horse only more magical) in the top photo was made by the lovely and talented Michelle]

what an excellent looking party, and that cake?!? wow!
{ps: i took your advice and had a chat to the kindy teacher, she only had one more name to add to the friends, so now we have 5 boys to invite, which is probably appropriate for a boy turning 5 ~ thanks for your suggestion, Jo x}

Dear Jennifer, I have missed you. Happy belated birthday, Rex! That cake is totally incredible. Five is the most magic age ever!
I finished Poets Cottage last Sunday, Jennifer and Monday my computer died and so I lost everything except the book! I have been a week without computer which has been sort of lovely and quite strange.
I will be Blogging again hopefully next week. Hope all is well in the kingdom of Chez Pinry. xx

Happy (belated now) birthday to the boy!
And well done to create such an excellent cake!! I wonder if we have the same food colouring in our pantries? 😉
