Yes it’s my son’s birthday today, my eldest son. Time flies so fast. The super cutie, big eyes, fair and little boy that I was carrying 8 years ago is not a baby anymore. He’s a big boy now. Today’s event makes my day busy. Waking up early to greet him before he goes to school. Prepare the loot bags for his classmates. After all, me and hubby went out to buy a gift for him. I was planning to give him a bike for his birthday anyway three weeks ago. We went to the nearest bicycle shop and bought him a BMX type of bike. After buying the bike we had lunch at Nandos then decide to go home. We got a problem on our way home. We can’t ride a trams because they don’t allow bikes inside the trams. We had no choice but to walk 3 kilometers. Another option is to call a cab and pay 30 dollars. I ignore the idea of paying and I insisted to just walk. It’s a good exercise. The weather is nice and when I get tired I just ride my son’s bike. Funny because I only ride on it when nobody’s around us looking or following us,  because I’m ashamed that people might said, “she’s riding a kids bike hahaha. But anyway it’s not that bad. Just once in a while and besides, I look like a kid…joke!
We reached home 1pm because we dropped by at Safeway grocery. We rest for an hour and then prepare to go to school for my son’s celebration. They’re having fun with the simple cake sharing and loot bags. I see my son is happy and he shared the cake to all the teachers of all levels.
Today is also the last day of school for term 3 and they’re going to have a two weeks vacation. I’ll be busy for two weeks looking after them. And tomorrow, I think I’ll be busy again because my son’s girlfriend and classmate is coming to our house. Children here used to visit classmates and friends houses. Spend some hours and play. It’s our first time to have a weekend visitor from my son’s classmates. My son’s already visit a friend’s house before. We’ll see what it’s gonna be tomorrow.
Back to the real topic lol. I made a slideshow for my son. I was a little emotional when I watched it and even Daddy. We don’t know why.. or maybe we just realize how far we’d go and now we’re gonna have a teenager soon. HAPPY BIRTHDAY SON. WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH AND PLEASE CONTINUE TO BE NICE AND KIND BOY. GODBLESS YOU ALWAYS. PRAYING FOR MORE BIRTHDAYS TO COME AND ALL GOOD THINGS FOR YOU.

Watch my first creation…especially for my son “JOVER”
