Big Bro Turns Eleven

Yesterday Big Bro turned 11.

I am not really sure how that happened.

But it was suddenly here, he was awake at 6am and spent the whole day celebrating.

Well actually he has spent the whole week celebrating.

Starting at the weekend when he had a sleepover with his friends, and then he went shopping to get his presents from his grandparents on Sunday. Yesterday we spent the afternoon with my mum as it was her birthday too, and then had a tea party at his nannies with his cousins.

Tonight he has gone of celebrating with the scouts and we are seeing friends and family all this weekend. So it has been a full on celebration for him.

And has meant we have really been running around everywhere for the last week.

But I think he has had an amazing day and an amazing week to be honest.

Eleven is a funny age.

It’s an age where he is desperate to be an adult, but at the same time he is still so young in other ways.

It’s an age where there are so many changes, school is the big huge one, so on top of getting that little bit older they are suddenly becoming more and more independent and taking those etc steps to becoming an adult.

But he obviously had a super time, as we went off to an appointment for him today he said “thank you for the best birthday yet”

At the end of the day that makes everything totally worthwhile!
