Day 365, Eve of Callum's Birthday







"Bye bye babyhood, hello toddlerdom!"







The days went by in such a flash
There's barely time to breathe
And here I'm writing "365"
And I cannot believe

Any comments for Callum's birthday book, please write away with thanks! Always lovely for prosperity.

Tonight after the boys are in bed, I need to:
- bake an organic birthday cake (because that's what I want to eat)
- bake high fructose corn syrup cupcakes (because that's what everyone else wants to eat)
- wrap the party favours
- wrap Callum's birthday presents (simple, inexpensive, educational and creative)
- go shopping for the party food
- get my hair done
- and try to beat my record of putting the birthday cake in the oven at 2.30am as happened on Reuben's 2nd birthday
- write my monthly letter to the boys and my birthday mistle to Callum

But I just had to post these pics of Callum, the first picture of which is the last entry in the Callum 365 project, day 365. It makes me tearful to think he's going to be one; silly hey? I'm way too sentimental...
