Party Animal

Fresh from the hospital, Alice launched herself into a weekend of parties. She knows her birthday is coming up, so needed to be reminded from time to time that the presents and cake were not for her.

That said, Little Friend Charlie hosted a brunch for Our Alice, since he is moving to the gorgeously lovely county of Cheshire next week. He had made cakes which Alice liked the look of and had organic crisps, which she did not (Walkers salt and vinegar only for our little girl).




The chums ate cake, bickered a bit and had a little sing song before we left.

Come Sunday, Little Friend Cora had a bit of a do down at Coogee Beach. Alice simply cannot sit still in the mornings, so after a brief debate about who should get to play with Cora's presents first, I set her free to run with the birds. Poetic but true.





The afternoon saw us at Little Friend Amba's third birthday which was a veritable extravaganza of outfits (Amba wore at least 4 over the course of the afternoon) and a bouncey castle in the garden. Fun for old and young, except for the little boy who managed to spew on it.

Both hostesses hoped that their parties would cheer Alice up. She definitely had fun, but thankfully there was no need to improve her mood. We were starting from quite a high spot - no obvious effects from the grommets noticed at all to date.
