Athan turns 2 today. The celebration is pretty low-key. He had a little celebration at his grandma’s yesterday, and today he celebrated with his creche friends at church. All very simple. The boy was very happy though — he was so excited with the blowing candle part and he loved eating the cake. Tomorrow, we will have a dinner with some church friends to continue the celebrations! 🙂
What can I say about this boy? Well, I am very happy that Athan is growing up fine and I really thank God for him. He is such a delightful little fellow. He is easily content and is fun to be with. He has brought a lot of joy to the family. Sometimes, I wish he doesn’t grow up so fast. I have already forgotten what Calvin was like when he was 2 years old. *sigh*
Major changes in his life has to be that he started childcare 2 weeks ago. I still feel lousy when I have to leave him crying and seeing him crying for me. It is really tough. It is part of his growing up, I guess. I hope he will learn to be secure in knowing that I will always come back for him. The good thing is that he settles quite quickly after I leave him and he usually has a good day after that. “You’ve got to toughen up”, that’s what the husband tells me. Perhaps he is right.
I asked Calvin what he’s going to give Athan for his birthday and he replied “a kiss!”. How sweet. Of course he did not forget to remind me about his own birthday and what he wanted etc etc. Kids. I have to add that my family in Singpore has sent a parcel full of gifts to Athan. My family is so wonderful!
I don’t think Athan knows too much about birthday at his age, and so perhaps I can get away with his *simple* celebration …. but next year will be different, I think. I better *work harder*. 🙂
Happy Birthday Athan! 🙂
Athan is sooo cute! He’s growing up so well! Wish we were part of his birthday celebration.
we wish you all were here with us too! thanks for all the pressies!
