Robots, games and cake


Thank you all for the extra sweet birthday wishes for the little guy.
I wanted to share a few pics (ok...maybe more than a few) of his day which was spent at Bundoora Park with his lovely friends and cousins.

If you are in Melbourne, Cooper's Settlement* is perfect for little people parties.

So this is what has been on my mind for the last month or so, creating a special creative and fun filled day for a little boy who is just growing up way too fast for my liking.

What about you, do you have a five year old going to school in the new school year?

How are you coping emotionally? Are you feeling a little lost?

Or is it just me?

    This party is outstanding, oh boy! As for coming to terms with the baby heading off to school, HUGE! This was an incredibly emotional time, the year leading up to it and the months after he'd started, I still tear up when I watch him march off with his enormous bag, so proud to be a school boy..xx

  10. what an amazing party you put together! he is such a sweet handsome and lucky little boy. i love all the details you put into this planning.
    you know i have a five year old too, but i'm dealing with different emotions about starting homeschooling - worried, excited, nervous, relieved, empowered, tied down - a whole slew of contradictions... craziness. i hope your boy gets off to a great start. i'm sure it's gotta be a bit easier the second time around!

  14. Don't worry sweetie, I had a 30-something son give me a huge unsolicited cuddle & big kiss the other night. Some things will never change, promise. A truly memorable day for your precious boy.

  15. Wow, everything is so beautiful and amazing!!! I can't believe you did so much, congratulations :)

    My daughter turned 5 in February (in NZ kids start school on their birthday) and I was most worried about missing her and then her just being tired after school... but it has been great, she loves it and after school is really fun. Now I see the 'big' kids at school and freak out!

  27. What a beautiful party! I also have an about-to-be five year old boy who is having a robot party. I stumbled upon this whilst doing my research in planning. Oh, yes...it's going way to fast. Just signed him up for Kindergarten this morning. My sweet boy is getting too big. Thanks for sharing. You're inspiring me.
