Joel had to go to school on his actual birthday, but took a birthday cake with him to share with his class and since it was swimming day, he got to swim with his class-mates too.
Joel requested dinner out at a Kampala cafe as a birthday treat. So after school, we drove across town in the heavy afternoon traffic and enjoyed dinner out at a lovely cafe with its own garden, play area and resident rabbits! The children loved the freedom and the meal was delicious.
The next morning, Joel woke up early for school but he felt hot and could barely speak! I checked his temperature and he was running a fever... which meant he had to miss his own birthday party in the afternoon!
Some of his friends came up to our house to play anyway after school was over- we all sang for Joel and cut his cake with him, but he was too feverish to eat any cake and too unwell to play with his friends!
Thankfully, he was well again within a couple of days and has since been able to enjoy his lovely gifts and being six years old!
Glad to hear Joel is feeling better now but sorry to hear that he was poorly at his party. Sending lots of love, Wend xxx
ReplyDeleteLiz are they very large candles on that cake? It looks yummy as all your kids cakes always do. Helen x
