Reuben is FIVE!! 5 YEARS OLD!!

 Yes! We are 5 years old pregnant!!:))) And that vest will never be worn again. Reuben has been eagerly awaiting his 5th bday. He wants to know how he was in my belly and how he was born and all that....so here we were talking about how difficult it was to carry him...how I have not stopped carrying him for a whole 5 years now...:))) except its easier now he can walk and really I only carry him in my heart...a whole different carrying that often is also worrying and anxious but most of the time a brilliant!!!

 Reuben has been rather crazy for LEGO recently. Mainly LEGO NINJA cought his eyes and I have managed to make him a LEGO NINJA ROOM with not so much hard work....but just have to say LEGO is totally facinating but gosh its hard to keep the bits together and not hoover them up....:))) still achieved his dream bedroom and the desire effect so I think I am awareding myself THE BEST MUMMY AWARD:))

 Reuben had a very exciting bday! He was rather emotional on the day overwhelmed I guess. On the Friday we had Elena and the boys around for a little play and start of the bday celebrations and even though it was only following week Tuesday his actual bday was being the weekend we started early. This is also Friday, when his room was all made over:)) with stickers and such. He was allowed to open a few presents...
Saturday morning we all set to go to playfootball.net and it was fabulous weather. We had managed to play most of the 2 hours with some drinks at half time and lovley hotdogs and burgers after.He had 21 children at his bday and here in the above photo we did play some pass the parcel.

As it was his bday we got is troffee he was the winner of the football match!!! He also managed to get certificates for everyone and a brilliant cake made by Ivetta his first ever childminder and our wonderfull family friend. I was so happy that Reuben did not ask to be head of the table. Everyone asked to sit with him and he was in his element with all his friends. I was so proud that so many boys have come and they all kept calling his name asking if them can sit next to him. He is a very likable boy...often what comes across is not what he is like but he is a very sensitive and adventurous unique and beautiful boy.

Saturday afternoon with his best friend Nicholas he opened the many very generous presents and cards and even offered some of his presents to Zac his brother. Sunday we had spent the day just relaxing and enjoying home....and it was so good not to do the rushing around. We missed church but then again it happens sometime. Monday evening Reuben did his last swimming lesson for the summer and he did brilliantly. Daddy was able to attend and see him in action which was added bliss. Tuesday, it was school day and I had decided to take the 40 cup cakes that IVETA has made to school and they were the highlight of the day:) Reuben had everyone sing HAPPY BDAY to him which was brilliant...and he loved enjoying his actual day with his current friends and in his own environment. I am off course amazingly proud of Reuben because not only he has settled in beautifully into his new school he is more than happy to run in day by day....he hardly ever missed a day and he loves his friends and they are his world....as well as us as a family.
Tuesday Reuben went to football after school and that was cool as on his bday he got to play what he loves....while me and Zackie went to celebrate Blake's bday who also is born on the same day as Reuben the 17th off course 3 years younger.
Wednesday pm NIcholas had Reuben at his house after school and he loved that.
Thursday after school was a Boley Hill picknick with all his school friends this was fabulastic the sun shone and daddy and Zac came along too. Friday today, we got up and went to see the Olympic torch being carried through Rochester and then enjoyed a coffee and a late breakfast at Cathedral Tearooms. There were about 10 kids from his class so we had loads of fun. Bday presents are still comming...yesterday he got a present from the Dispensari's that apperntly we found out his been waiting for all his life:)))) NINJAGO no doubt:)
Today Godmother Cheryl has brought up another present. We had cards and presents and all sorts even a week after his bday party:))) HE is a very much loved and cherished little 5 years old....I am so proud to be your MUMMY Reuben! I love you forever will carry you forever always in my HEART!
