four

Lily turned Four on Monday.

She is turning into such a lovely little person... kind and thoughtful, sociable, always initiating play and very, very funny. She is also opinionated and really quite bossy at times.

She has been longing to turn four. The upside of a Summer birthday is that we were able to have a picnic in the forest and then walk the dogs in the sunshine.

There were sandwiches, quiche, crisps, party rings and chocolate cake (her request)... but we were too busy eating to take many photos. There were also ice lollies.

We bought her a much longed-for IKEA play kitchen, which has provided endless hours of play already. She also received this rainbow balloon, which as you can see, she is thrilled with!

Happy Birthday Lily x
