joshua is seven

It has been such a big year for the firstborn: he started primary one! There has been some angst, all on my part of course. He has been too busy enjoying school for any angst. He loves watching National Geographic and will pick non-fiction books at the library over fiction any time. He's fascinated by snakes, but so far doesn't dare to have one placed over his shoulders. He asked for a snake cake for his birthday.

Josh picked out a snake cake from a cake decorating book I have. Fondant again! Josh took a look at his cake and said, "They kind of look like worms." But he told everyone else that they were snakes, considerate as he is of my feelings! We had a MacD's party for the first time. We've told the kids that each year we'll only have one big party where they get to invite their friends; and they have to take turns for it. Josh's turn this year, and Emma is already planning hers next year.

Here he is posing with his beyblade, his birthday present of choice this year.
