famous 5

yup, birthday boy an is definitely famous for many of his antics. those around him would know! i've been reading up on the emotional expression of a 5 year old child & he has definitely grown into one! i won't elaborate on it since this is a writeup on his birthday which we celebrated on 10 may 2007 :o)

it was a daddy & son day. hubs had previously missed 3 of his birthdays due to work & couldn't make it back in time. so this year, daddy made it up to an & cancelled one of his biz trips just to be with his much delighted birthday boy.

mommy of course ordered the cake & wanted it to be thomas the tank engine. the lady who's known to make yummy cakes didn't know who thomas was but tried her best in producing a cake with the tank engine. i did give her my cake design, colours & all. the kind lady altered one or two colours, her reason being too much colouring isn't good which i okay-ed. the cake however, to everyone's amusement, came out looking candid! she told me she was going to do a big thomas & it ended with a small thomas + 3 malaysian flags (very patriotic of her), 2 small bunches of flowers & the biggest laugh was over the 2 awkward looking ultraman figurines :o)

2 questions came from the birthday boy:

"mommy, why thomas look different?"
"mommy, why is the ultraman on my cake?"

the chocolate cake was no doubt mouth-watering!
i know i ate a lot!

mommy also ordered pizzas for an as per his request which was the same request as his 4th birthday. sigh! when an likes a certain something, it'll be the SAME thing he'll ask for over & over again (such as fried rice, roti boom/bom & the obvious, PIZZA!).

what has an taught me for another year?
to practice more PATIENCE!
i'm seriously running out of it :o)
