Shed cake, pedal bikes and a whole lotta birthday fun!

So Rowan was 4 on Thursday.  He had asked for a pedal bike and a shed cake for his birthday, of which he got both!

The breakfast table set up for Rowans birthday morning, crown, cards, 4 candles and chocolate twisty pastries he chose for birthday breakfast.
The birthday boy, opening his first ever grown up lego set!  He has played solidly with for 3 days now!

After breakfast and space station building we all headed off to the park for a bike ride, on his new pedal bike.  Rowan has outgrown his balance bike for a while now and has been eagerly awaiting a pedal bike for ages.  He is very cautious on it, as Rowan is with everything, and will proudly walk around pushing it for while until he feels confident enough to get on it, then with a little help to get started off he goes, pedalling on his own!  It is truly amazing to watch your child ride their bike for the first time, as is any first time proud parent moment!


Then later that day he had a little afternoon party for him and his friends, it was a crazy couple of hours of 8 2-5 year olds running around being crazy, only one injury, but lots of fun.
Rowan asked about 6 months ago for a shed cake for his 4th birthday, when asked why a shed cake, he replied "Because I like sheds!"  6 months later he remembered and he thinks it looked like a shed with a sparkly roof, so thats all that matters, I thought it looked more like a yurt, but there you go!

Rowan had a fabulous birthday, he recieved everything he had asked for and was really grateful for everything he received.  He still keeps coming out of his bedroom and saying, "Mummy I really love all my presents, Thankyou"
