Another Birthday Another Year Older

Yesterday was my son's 5th Birthday, how the time has gone.

I remember hearing how I was going to be a dad and the inner turmoil that I felt at the time, then thinking that its going to be a different life now, watching when he was born and being the first to see what sex he was once he was born, his first birthday when he was a bundle of joy and didn't know what was really happening, his second birthday when the gf had made him a birthday cake that wasn't really edible and my son just sat in a high chair and chomped away at it with it covering his face, third birthday was his first proper party with all his friends dressed as pirates, forth was held at the sports centre on the ski slope with all of his friends sledging. This year we had his part at the sports centre again and there was 13 lovely children all doing as they were told, ok maybe not and I probably dreamt this, all of his friends played well but when it came to the games some got bored or wouldn't listen which makes it hard work for you, but we got there in the end. He was thoroughly spoilt by us, his friends and his nan and granddad, that last night when they had left he just didn't know what to do, so we sat him down to relax got a takeaway and then read him a couple of bedtime stories, he was out like a light by 8pm.
