Happy birthday to Lauren today!

Is it just my kids, or is it a general trend, that kids are sticklers for accuracy when it comes to saying how old they are. If you ask most parents how old their child is, they'll probably say 'nearly seven' or 'seven in August' if the child is within a few months of her seventh birthday. However, someone asked Lauren two days ago how old she was. Six, she said.

Lauren is the proud owner of a sparkling new Big Bike With Gears.

Also some vases to paint, a Scooby Doo computer game, a couple of smallish lego sets to add to our City collection, a softball bat and ball, and the junior version of Pass the Bomb.
