Yesterday, Lucas turned seven. I can't believe it...it only seems like a few days ago that he was hiccuping away in my tummy and I was desperately trying to evict him with super-hot curries, pineapple and driving over the most vicious cobbled streets that we could find.
He had his birthday party on Saturday and zoomed around on go-karts with his friends (with the occasional wild bouncing session on a bouncy castle for variety). And of course, there was
cake. (More on that later, of course!)
Lucas woke us up at 0630--he's a reliable alarm clock, especially on his birthday--and he opened a present in bed before we took him downstairs to see his big birthday surprise.

I've decided that messy sofas look sophisticated in B&W |
There was a very satisfying
gasp, and a
wow, and then he settled down to the Serious Business of unwrapping presents before school. Oh! I must show you the fantastic card that Dave put together for Lucas!

Lucas wants to be James Bond when he grows up! |
Amid all the sugar and excitement I've spent a lot of time wallowing in nostalgia and flicking through photographs. He's grown a lot over the years...

I know every mummy is super-proud of her child (or children), but Lucas is the kindest, loveliest, funniest little guy I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. He's bright--he explained to his older cousin last night why the ISS is so bright when it passes overhead, its solar panels reflect the sun in case you were curious--and is usually relentlessly cheerful. He's just 100% gorgeous, inside and out and I love him to bits.
Happy birthday, Wee Man!

What a darling collage. The sonogram was a great idea - that is really nostalgia.
