I woke up really early because I knew it was my birthday. However, Thomas saw me and sent me back up to bed! :-(
Fifteen minutes later he told me to come downstairs, where everybody had gathered around the dining table and were singing "Happy Birthday" to me. I got a lot of presents!

After school, Matthew, Ross B and Scott came home with me.

Thomas had baked a kagemand and a lagkage – we liked the sweets on the kagemand best, however!

Afterwards Granny and Pumpa came round with their present, and I went with Marcel and Charlotte to Papa's for dinner.

I got my new glasses today. It's just amazing to see what you can see with glasses on. I could see the sky and all round me. I could see all sorts of beautiful things. And they are so cool with Mr Tickle on the side. I tried to show Anna all the lovely Little Miss glasses in the shop too so she'd want a pair too. Mummy said not to because she might not need some. I think everyone should wear glasses though if you can see this much better with them.

Almost!

Mummy and Thomas have taken the stabilisers off my bike. I told them they should wait three weeks till I'm five but they are insisting now I'm a schoolboy I should try. I can ride it ok for a few seconds but whenever it feels too fast I jump off the back of my saddle to try to save myself. Unfortunately they keep making me get back on. I get the feeling they aren't going to give up hassling me till I get the hang of this :-(
