Adam is 4!

The big day FINALLY arrived! We have been counting sleeps for 42 days! Adam has been telling me for many months that he would have a 'sword and shield' birthday. That was no problem. Then a few weeks ago he brought me a picture of a shield that the hero on one of Charlie's video games has, and solemnly informed me that he was hoping for a shield just like that for his birthday. Hmm. Not easy to find, so I was eventually forced to the conclusion that I would need to make it. As you may know, this is not even close to being within my comfort zone. However, it was pretty easy really, and I actually had a great time doing it. And he loves it!
Adam also told me that the cake was "exactly what I was hoping for." We had the Dunlops over for lunch and cake, and we all had a lovely afternoon. It was a happy day indeed.
