Hey C,

Happy Birthday!! I'm not sure if you know that you are the reason that Mum and I decided to start the blog. We wanted to note down the amazing things in your life but there were so many that we couldn't note all of them. But Birthdays... there's always space for. We know how much you love birthday parties, especially your own.

That's your 1st Birthday. We had a massive party at the club. I think we had close to 100 guests. You would be delighted to note that since that massive party, we have not had a birthday party for any of our kids at the same scale. (I guess that will be the case until D and/or E can read and discovers this entry.) Anyway, Mum got a cake with a picture of your first car.

I'm not sure how much you remember your 1st B'day but I do remember that you started to totter around just a few days before your party. At your party, you were eager to show off your new skill and we spent most of the time running after you. Well, it's your party after all ...

2nd Birthday! A party at Mama and YehYeh's place. I think we catered for about 50 guests and had tables in the garden. Unlike your 1st B'day, where you probably didn't understand much of what was going on, this time you were very excited to blow out the candles. Between Audrey and you, there was no worry that the cake would be saliva-free. I'm really glad that you are such close friends with Audrey, just like a sister. She's a real sweetie.

A month after your 2nd B'day, you started school at SJCK. Mum and I were really worried that you wouldn't be able to adapt but you sure proved us wrong. The first week or so was stressful for us all but once you got into the swing of things, we couldn't stop you from attending school. BTw you even said you wanted to marry Aunty Stephanie, your DD teacher.

Your 3rd B'day also marked a new phase for Mummy and Granny - All B'day cakes for the Kids would be baked by them. And I'm sure you must be thankful. The cakes were not only yummy, the decorations were only limited by your imagination.

As you can see from the photos above, your 4'th B'day was Dinosaur themed. Mum noticed that you took a real liking to Harry and the Dinosaurs and was ever willing to make your wishes come true. She even got your Godma to make a Harry clay figurine. I think it was in that year that she went for cupcake baking classes and, as you know, she has put them to good use.

As usual, you had 2 celebrations - one in school and the other at home. At your request, we had a magician/balloon sculptor. You know your birthday celebrations are never simple and even when we wanted a simple BBQ for your 5th B'day, we ended up having a catered BBQ with a Satay man and lady making Roti Canai. Aren't you lucky!!

Before we get to your B'day bash at Mama's house, the photos above show - That's right - your 5th B'day in school. It was meant to be Shreked themed after your 2 visits to Universal Studios and watching Shrek 4ever After. But due to some postal errors, Mum found out only 2 days before that the Shrek decorations weren't going to arrive in time. She went into hyper mode and managed to get you Toy Story decorations, which she placed ever so artistically on your B'day cake.

And that's a really photo of Aunty Sylvia and the Birthday Boy. You are really blessed to have her as your teacher and friend.

And that's the Satay Man at your home party celebrations.

Superman also needs to eat his favourite food - fishball. We are really proud of the decorations that you made for the party (with a little help from Granny). It gave the party a Shrek - under the sea adventure feel.

And you really have to thank your Mummy for the fantastic cake. She not only made the "Keep Out" sign, she also created the toilet! Ultra-realistic!!

Happy Birthday Caleb!! Papa and Mummy pray that your birthdays will forever be filled with happiness and joy!
