Emilie is 4
The little princess bounded out off bed this morning taking great delight in telling us all that she was 4 today and because she is now grown up will no longer be watching cbeebies as that is for babies!
Once her and Daniel were dressed they made their way into our bedroom to undertake the ceremonious opening of card and presents â?? on reflection make that frenzied opening of cards and presents. As fast as Daniel could pass the presents to her Emilie was tearing the paper off â?? passing comment on the present, before moving rapidly on to the next gift!
Within minutes all cards and presents were opened and then it was time for breakfast, amazingly breakfast was consumed in record time this morning, I am thinking that this had something to do with the lure of playing with presents before going to Nursery at 8:45am.
Daniel & I took Emilie to Nursery today where she merrily waltzed in declaring â??It is my birthday today and I have bought chocolates for everyoneâ? â?? she really is a Madam.
After a day at Nursery and Lindaâ??s I collected Emilie and we went home for the birthday tea she had selected â?? Cheese and Ham Omelettes made by Tim (apparently he makes much better omelettes than I do).
There were a couple more cards to open â?? one which contained written on money (a cheque from Gee-Gee and Josie) and the other containing brown money (£10 from Uncle Michael and Auntie Alison).
Tim endeavoured to swap the brown money for some shiny gold money but Mummy was on hand to explain to Emilie that she would need 10 shiny gold bits of money to make the same amount as the brown money â?? so she declined the offer.
After another round of â??Happy Birthdayâ? it was time for the very tired Birthday Girl to make her way to bed, she didnâ??t mind though as she had a lovely new Sleeping Beauty Cushion on her bed from her brothers!
As she climbed into bed her kind and caring elder brother declared â?? â??your birthday is over now, mine is next!â?
Thank you to everyone that sent cards and present for Emilie â?? she really does enjoy opening them and playing with them, after the initial excitement.
