Day 37 of JM's US Detachment Trip

Yesterday, 9 July, was Oswald's BIG DAY!!! He'd waited a long way for this day to come. JM had bought him a present a 2 months back and Oswald was told then that he could only open the present on his birthday. Since then, he'd been waiting and waiting and waiting ... finally the day had come.

And of course, being his birthday, mummy had arranged for party in school and all other activities for the day. Oswald knew that he's going to have a celebration in school with his classmates, he was beaming on the way out.

The cake for Oswald this year is once again a Thomas theme one but this time, he gets it 3D!!! The cake was from Cafe Pralet and I am quite impressed by their delivery service. I've arranged for them to deliver the cake to school and at 8:45am. I was kinda expecting them to run a little late considering morning traffic etc but I was wrong. The cake was delivered not only on time, but slightly earlier than expected. Thumbs up for good service!!!

The children in the class, including Oswald of course, were all excited over the cake. It's quite a pretty cake ... and Oswald almost did not want to cut the cake up because he thought it was a real train. He said "Mummy, this is not a cake. It is a train. We cannot cut a train."

** Oswald's attention fixed to the cake when it was revealed **

Luckily I do not need a lot of time to convince him that it was a real cake and we were there to share the cake with his friends and teachers in class. The cake was cut, distributed, ate and the party was over by 9:30am. We can't finish the cake and the balance was brought upstairs to be shared with teachers and friends in Owein's playgroup class.

The next activity lined up for the day was Oswald's swimming lesson. Actually this wasn't planned in for the day. Blamed it on bad weather on Tuesday as that was the reason why swimming lesson was push backwards ... LOL. Anyway, I did not mind that the lesson was pushed back. In fact, due to this, Oswald gets 1 more pressie from his swimming instructor, Billy.

After the lesson, the boys (including Oswald swimming buddy) get to play together while we were waiting for time to pass. Dinner was arranged at 7:00pm at AustWine, Farmart. Our delicious dinner include:-

** Pork Knuckle **

** Fish n Chips **

** Bratwurst Sausage **

Lastly, we ended the day with another cake ... nothing fancy, just a simple cake from Four Leaves.

** Pls note, candle holders provided by Mummy not by cake shop ... LOL **
