Last Wednesday Bluet had a birthday, which as Bluet informed us now means she has been around the sun 8 times. Bluet and Ilona were both very excited for the day - Ilona drew lots of pictures as presents, and wanted to be involved in the preparation - she asked to be woken up at 5AM to make sure she had time to prepare - we did not do this. We did however bake a cake, which upon Bluet's request was a strawberry cake with pink icing. It was pretty delicious. She had been preparing her birthday wishes for months in advance so it took her a second to prepare to blow out the candles on her cake, to make sure all the wishes were in order, then they were out in one blow. Our neighbours with 2 girls the same ages as ours came over to help us celebrate, and everyone had a good time. Yesterday Bluet told me that she was used to being 8 at last.
We bought Bluet a CD player for her birthday, and one CD (Bowie's greatest hits). Since then we have heard a lot of Bowie from Bluet's room, played at maximum volume.
