All mixed up
July 4, 2013

allmixedupBoy: We had maple cake for pudding at school today – do you know maple cake?

Mum: Is it made with maple syrup?

Boy: No, it’s half chocolate and half plain and then it’s all mixed up together into one cake.

Mum: Ah – do you mean maple cake or marble cake?

Boy: Marble cake – that’s it! I love marble cake, it’s DELICIOUS! I was BURSTING for double pudding, but I couldn’t because I didn’t eat my peas, and you have to eat EVERYTHING on your plate… Except the crumbs… And the things that are too tricky to eat… And I couldn’t have double pudding anyway because I didn’t have time.

…more balloons and presents

37birthdaycake

D: Go out of the kitchen, mum – I’m going to decorate your birthday cake all on my own – you’re NOT ALLOWED to see!
Me: OK.

[Quite a while later]
D: This is not good, mum – you’re not going to like it; I tipped the silver balls into the pot with the gold balls in it. Then I tipped them all into the empty pot, then back into the other pot, then back, then back, then back. Then some of the balls fell out – not all of them – and they went onto the floor and now I can’t find them.
Me: Have you decorated the cake yet?
D: No.

[Quite a while later]
D: There. That’s a piece of white string, with a chocolate chip balloon on top [left of centre], that’s a silver balloon with some gold string [centre, top], and they’re gold and silver presents [bottom].

Daniel’s 5th birthday, pre-party – Oct 2012

D: I haven’t used purple because Daniel hates purple – he said.
That’s Daniel [bottom right, sideways on] – he’s got some candy in one hand and a cupcake in the other hand.
He’s got a red hat with a ‘5’ on it.
There’s lots of people and there’s 2 tables with lots of food on them [top, centre and left].
There’s some ‘X’ marks the spots and a balloon man’s been blowing up balloons.

Design for thank you card following 5th birthday, July 2012

D: That’s me, in the middle with a red top on. That’s the big sign that says it’s my birthday [top left], that’s you with your long hair [me – top right], that’s dad, holding lots and lots of balloons [in blue], that’s the stall with all my presents on, and a bag for the presents [bottom right]. There’s Uncle Ian with my cake [in green with the spiky hair], that’s Finn [in red and green], Danny [in yellow then coloured over with blue to make green], Daniel [in red] and Aidan [with half red, half blue hair]. They’re the crazy scientists [on the left in yellow and blue]. There’s some multi-coloured lights [all around] and there’s some more customers [now appears to have turned into a shop…]
