Amelia's birthday was a bit delayed this year... due to illness. Her birthday was a Saturday and on the Thursday night, Lucy threw up everywhere, she was no better the next day and I ttok her to the Doc, who said she would prob get worse before she got better but that she wasnt contagious ... so we postphoned Amelia's party for a week. She didnt mind though and had a lovely birthday - got some great presents. Emma had bought Gabriella and Madeleine down for the weekend for the party so the ycame and saw us anyway, which Amelia loved, and al the grandparents came too. However, both girls threw up their dinner, and I started being sick that night. when duncan started being sck Sunday morning, we knew the Doc's prediction of her not being contagious was a little optimistic. We spent Sunday, all four of us , on the settee, watching films and napping. It was horrible. We had to delay her little playschool chums party from the Monday to the Thursday. Amelia recovered quickly, as did I , though Lucy and Duncan suffered for longer. and Lucy did a dog pooh in the Factory Shop car park. Yellow, runny and smelt of death - not her finest moment .. yet she is very proud f it and still talking about it now!
Finally the parties got underway. Abbie, Isabel, Joe, Estelle and Laila came for her playschool friends party and they had a great time, they had some balloon models, painted faces and ate loads of cakes and generally just thundered up and down the stairs having a great time. Its so nice to see her with her own friends that she has made herself! Then on the Saturday we had her family/family friends party and had a great time. All the children had their face painted and Duncan was kept very busy doing balloon models for them all - they loved it. It was a tiny bit overwhelming for Amelia, who did once ask to come indoors with me and read a book ..... but she had great fun. So all in all it was a belated, but fun birthday and she had a great time!
