YES, ah-boy is now 7 years old. Wow, amazing how kids grow and how time flies. Samuel & I, we have both enjoyed Jordan so much during his growing years and even now, we both dote on him, cuddle him every night before he goes to bed and let him know he's special. We love him so very much....
After recovering from sea-sickness from whale watching, we held a party for him the following day on Sunday, attended by neighbourhood kids, who are his favourite friends and playmates. Being 'kiasu' parents, we were a little worried that kids being kids, they would forget what time it was or that there was even a party, so I faithfully went around knocking at doors making sure the kids remembered to show up at 3pm!
The party food was a disaster though... I burnt the pizza, Samuel baked the birthday cake but the icing turned too watery, so he had to rescue wordings with Smarties candy.... the konnyaku jelly was to goo-ey, yikes.... nothing seemed edible, except the gumballs....but the games and candies were a hit. What can I say, food isnt priority, so if you ever plan birthday parties for 7 year olds, ensure lots of activities, games, gum balls, candies and popcorn,... they are ever so thrilled.
Halfway through the party, little Lilly, Alex's kid sister suddenly decided to remove all her clothes and the 3 older boys upstairs came rushing down in hysteria & disbelief... I don't know what happened but she had apparently poo-ed in her pants... okay, stay calm, we will get her out of there and big brother alex must escort her back to her mummy, WITH HER CLOTHES ON....
They had fun, we could tell, and Jordan said this was his best-est party ever.
