Hey 38!!

This past Monday was my birthday which I totally forgot about until I got a text from Kathy.  I rolled over and said to Matthew "Today is Mummy's birthday!"

His response was to gleefully wish me a "Happy Birthday!" and launch into an impromptu, off key half version of the Happy Birthday To You.  Then he said "I'll be right back", hopped off the bed and wandered out into the living room.  He came back with a wooden cat statue I have and said all birght eyed "Happy Birthday Mummy, here's your present!!"

I thanked him profusely as I accepted my gift.  Then he dissappeared again to return shortly with my blue pumps and again saying "Happy Birthday Mummy!!" and singing again.  He did this intermittantly throughout the day coming to me with random household items and presenting them as birthday gifts (once he gave me the charging cords for the portable DVD player!).  Such a sweet little guy.

He also decided that on that day my new name would be 38 (can you quess how old I turned?).  So he would say things like "Hey 38, how are you today?", "Hey 38, whats that thing over there?"  "38? May I have a drink?".

As a special birthday event, we went to McDonalds drive through for breakfast for an Egg Mcmuffin meal, pancakes and lots of extra hash browns.  Mmmmm McDonalds hash browns.....
