Today is Nugley's birthday. He turned 5 years old today and now he thinks he can move up to the next grade at school. That's probably because he did when he was in Montessori. We had a family get together last night before Nana and Gramps had to go for their holidays. He had a great time and loved his presents. I think two of his favourites were his Maple Leafs T-shirt given by myself and a new watch given by his sister Choo Choo. he took his new watch to school today and told me everytime the long hand reached a new number. I knew at that time that his teacher was going to love this present, well maybe not. We made cupcakes yesterday to have at school today with his classmates. He was a very proud boy and I think he has grown up so much over the past year, especially since September. Going to school is important stuff for him, so he tells me. A couple of weeks ago he had his party with all his friends. His mom invited about 25 children and they all were able to make it.
She had the party at home (she's very brave) and hired a magician to put on a show. The show was about 45 minutes long and maintained the children's attention the whole time (as well as the parents). After the show Nugley told him he could come back anytime.We then celebrated a new holiday called the 12 days of Nugley. It's where Nugley gets to open a new birthday present (from the party) for the next 12 days or so. Some people celebrate Hanukkah others Christmas but we celebrate Nugley first. It made him behave during the weeks and to help get his homework done a lot easier having him know he could open a new gift. He is a great boy and I love being around him and his sister. I learn something new everyday from him.
Happy Birthday Nugley!!
