It's Robby’s birthday today!

Robby, my boy

Robby, my boy

With untaught joy

You’re the greatest gift
That we never expect

Now you’re four
Not a baby anymore

You’re growing like a weed
And your brain is ahead.

Your sweetness and wisdom
A young person you’ve become

I hope you always know
How much we love you so

Yes, my big boy is now 4! Time really flies :-) We supposed to go swimming in Gardnerville but its still raining. I decided to bake a cake ‘ORANGE GLOW CHIFFON CAKE” from Epicurious and cook his favorite food “Spaghetti” The bad thing is the cake turned out hard as a rock :-( It’s so embarrassing. Robby keeps saying “Mommy, I want a cake not a bread?!” I told him, I would try again on Friday for their party but to be honest… I am scared. I don’t want to do it now. I might just ask Adele, my South African friend to help me bake and decorate the cake. She’s very good on this. I just she don’t mind helping me.

The whole day for Robby is so exciting. As soon as he woke up this morning, they went to the post office. Gifts from Grandma “Bob’s mom” and card from Grandpa’s sister is waiting for him. As soon as he gets home he got a call from Grandma”Bob’s mom”… Robby’s just so excited telling Grandma about the gift. It’s Thomas the Tank Engine collectors’ set of DVD's titled The Early Years of Thomas the Tank Engine and also Thomas the Tank Engine Flash light with all the different sounds. He watches the videos the whole day! Auntie Myrna (My older sister) also called him. After dinner Grandpa (Bob’s dad) and Sandy (Bob’s step-mother) called. They both enjoy talking to Robby and Robby’s so happy when they told him that he has a gift coming. He is a typical kid that loves to accept gifts... ha ha ha :-) but I don’t like him to get used to it. I actually told everybody that is invited not to bring anything. He got too many toys and goodness it’s so tiring to clean up. We don't have space for more toys too. Anyway, After few minutes Mama and Papa “Robby’s Lolo and Lola in the Philippines” called then my brother “Robby’s Uncle Don” then after 10 minutes my 2 younger sisters called “Robby’s Auntie Lalyn and Auntie Darling” It’s a busy day but exciting day too for Robby. I hope this coming Saturday is a fun day for everybody and the weather cooperate.
