A certain young person thinks she is too cool for Birthdays. But I couldn't let the whole week go by without mentioning it.

It's the first time for a while that we haven't had a big celebration on the day itself, but she's having a big party at the weekend, and so we contented ourselves with calling in at school to share a cake. She was officially unimpressed with our presence, although a smile was hiding under her mouth when we gave up trying to take photos. And school kindly emailed proof that she had in fact enjoyed the day.

I wasn't present at Miss Mog's birth (and, honestly, it doesn't sound as though it was much fun for either of the main participants, I can't be too sorry I missed it). But I've been at all her Birthdays since, and I'm hoping there will be many more to come.
