Charlie is 3!

It was Charlie’s 3^rd birthday yesterday. It was a busy day for a little boy, with cards and parcels to open.

He had a very special party at which he was the only child. Later, next month, when his friends come home from their holidays he will have another party, lucky boy.

Charlie played with his toys . . . 

. . . and so did his parents.

 At different times he was an astronomer, (or ornithologist) . . .

. . . a fireman . . . 

. . . a spaceman, and a gardener with his lawnmower. (He expressed a desire for a sit-on lawnmower but that wish was not realised)

There was delicious food, of course, and a lovely cake.

There was washing up to be done. It required rubber gloves. You have to blow into them first . . .

. . . then pull them on.

Add washing-up liquid . . . 

. . . and lots of water.

Like all good washer-uppers Charlie looked around for more things to be washed . . .

After that, the gloves had to be washed . . .

. . . inside . . .

Today he went go-karting.
