Saitaomei turned 6 a week ago. She’s been waiting for her birthday for a long time and I feel like she had a week so celebration.
She has school on her actual birthday and had fun giving out birthday bags to her school friends.
Ah ma made her her favourite birthday noodles and chicken soup which she requested herself. She loves Ah ma’s chicken mee sua and it’s always a treat for them whenever it’s someone’s birthday and they get to eat this dish haha.
Favourite birthday meal since one year old! Hahaha
During the weekend it was her much awaited birthday celebration with her cousins. She actually planned to go to the zoo but thankfully changed her mind and decided to go roller skating instead. The weather was 39 degrees, definitely not zoo weather, it was even too hot at the rink but at least all the cousins had a great time.
Dome’s for lunch, also her choice. I think it’s safe to say the cousins enjoyed lunch and had a great time. It’s really nice that they have each other for company.
Dinner was takeaway Korean fried chicken at Ah ma’s, this time mummy chose haha. If Saitaomei had a choice she would want to go for crayfish, this girl has expensive gourmet taste!
We had an icecream cake which was great for the hot weather but too melty because I forgot to put it in the freezer and left it in the fridge! Had to have one Daitaoha moment.
I think my baby girl had a wonderful birthday, she really was thoroughly celebrated and spoilt. She has always been the baby of the family and revelled in that spot, but this year it’s become abundantly clear that she’s no longer our baby, she’s so eloquent, bright, confident, thoughtful and open in heart and nature, sometimes she humbles us with her positive energy and spirit. She’s also very self aware and reads the room perhaps a bit too well, I will have to work hard on making sure her high eq doesn’t make her manipulative.
My dear Saitaomei, I hope you stay thoughtful, considerate, kind and positive. I hope you continue to love and look out for your Gung Gung and Mah Mah, and I hope you stay best friends with your sister forever. You will always be mummy’s little girl. Happy 6th birthday.
