Happy Birthday Daniel...

This time 4 years ago I was sat in my lounge in Hazlemere, High Wycombe gazing at my beautiful baby boy.... I went in to the maternity ward at 8pm Monday night and by 12:30am he had arrived, by 3am I was sat on a hard bed by the window in a ward full of slumbering new mums and their babies... I held Daniel (fearful of putting him down in case he cried and woke everyone up...lol) and watched the sun rise over the hospital rooftops and felt so connected and alive....

I looked out of my kitchen window this morning here in Somerset and the sky was a lovely pink just as I remembered it 4 years ago and once again I had a feeling of being tremendously alive...

Danny was very dark haired when he was born and it all fell out! which was a little worrying! lol


and as it grew it was noticeably lighter...


but his eyes are still beautifully blue... and he is learning to use them to his advantage! ;D

and today he could not believe that he didn't have to share the presents... today was the first Birthday that I assume made sense to him and the fact that its a day when he is the only person receiving gifts really took a while to sink in...

Nanny's and grandad called in for tea this afternoon and brought more gifts so the day was pretty wonderful for a cheeky 4 year old....

I was going to make a cake... honest.... but Mr P decided this morning that the stress involved ( for him) was too much to handle... and he shot off to Tesco and bought a cake that Danny absolutely loved... to be fair it tasted pretty good too! ;D

So I am off to refill my glass with Baileys and watch a little NCIS before bedtime...

take care everyone and I hope you all had a fab weekend...
