Benjy's birthday

Benjy turned 3 a few weeks after we moved to Leeds. We hadn't known what to do for his birthday - we had to do something, as he was really excited for it, but knew he wouldn't have made any friends yet. So we just asked a few people we know, with kids around Benjy's age, and had a small party at home. It was lovely - just the right number of people, at home so no stress, and Benjy loved every second of it. He must have talked about his birthday for about three months beforehand and in the morning, when we told him it was today, he was so excited, it was so sweet!
