Parties can be overwhelming when you're so little, so it's useful when a big sister helps you to open all your presents.
But boys will always be boys, whatever age they are!
So thank goodness for Grandma's birthday cake!
Of course, anything with wheels is always a big hit!
And you can't have a party without balloons, can you? Wonder what my actual birthday'll be like!
Happy Birthday to your little Boy. I remember not bein able to wait until my children's first birthday so i could get them lots of toys and make a jelly and that.
The only problem with toys with wheels is that they pose a terrible tripping / flying through the air hazard. As a mother of two boys I have learnt this to my cost!
Thanks Mal, Sarah, Kitty. His actual birthday isn't til tomorrow (but you can't have a party on a Tuesday) so I've hidden your good wishes and will let him look at them in the morning.
No, Dave. Surely by then all those futuristic comics I was reading last century will have finally come true and we'll all be whizzing all over the place with our jet-packs. Hope so!
And is that happens, Mary, then the toys will be a lot safer too. Won't they?
We'll make sure he does, Halo, don't worry.
He's trying the walking out already, Tara - you know, just the odd daring step from sofa to table or similar. But I'm taking Dave's advice and fitting him with wheels.
For my first grandchild's first birthday, I bought a train set. For my second grandchild's first birthday I bought a train set. I've a third grandchild. Wonder what she'll get?
Here I am the last in line with a rather belated Happy 1st Birthday to Charlie! Hmmm...our baby girl just turned 1 a couple of months ago...maybe a cyber match?!
Happy Birthday Charlie! And I bet you liked the wrapping paper just as much as the presents!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, NB - and the boxes!
ReplyDeleteA very Happy Birthday Charlie, may you always remain so cute ! x
ReplyDeleteTwo pieces of cake please, that looks brilliant.
ReplyDeleteMax has that digger, still plays with it, in fact.
Happy Birthday Charlie.
Happy Birthday Charlie!
ReplyDeleteLooks like he had a lovely day.
Now's the time for you to start hinting about that train set!
ReplyDeleteHinting, Kevin? It's already bought and in the attic!
ReplyDeleteHe did, thank you Laura (although he was a little overwhelmed at first by the attention!)
Sorry, SPD, can't talk with my mouth full. Cake? Ah... there may be a problem there.
Indeed, Auntie Gwen, indeed. As Sally said, 'I don't want Charlie to grow up. Can't he just stay like this forever?'
Happy Birthday!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Charlie!!

ReplyDeletesuper cake xxx
Happy Birthday Charlie!!
ReplyDeleteWell done Tim. That's one down and another 16 to go before you have to buy him some real wheels.

ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to little Charlie.
Happy Birthday young fella! Have a wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteOne! What a glorious age.
ReplyDeleteIt's all uphill from here! Just wait until the walking begins . . .
Big birthday hugs little Charlie.

Oh, a train set. Charlie's got two already, Z!
ReplyDeleteThank you Suzanne, Sub, CJ and Jo. As I said above, I will surprise him with everyone's good wishes in the morning!
And I feel similarly honoured to have blogger mums and dads on mine, More Than. Honestly, I feel I'm playing at this game!
Lovely photos!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Charlie!
Make sure you get some balloons for yours too. Hope Charlie had a great time, looks like he did!
ReplyDeleteAwww happy birthday Charlie. What a lovely handmade cake.
ReplyDeleteThanks, CW.
ReplyDeleteWe're hoping they'll last that long, BTM.
Looks good, and tastes good too, DJ! Mmmm.
