August - a first birthday party




















In August, Kitty was 1. We had a little party for her in the back garden with friends, family and lost of animals. Luckily the weather stayed nice and we had a lovely day. We had lots of nice veggie food and our friend Fran took charge of a BBQ for the meat eaters. Daddy made his speciality mini pink meringues (which are actually a Valentine Warner speciality) and great cousin Claire made Kitty one of her brilliant cakes. It was great to see lots of kids running around the place, playing together and enjoying being outside. Most of them went home good and dirty, a few scraped knees and plenty of nettle stings. Just as it should be!

Lucky Kitty had a second party at nursery the following Monday. She took in homemade goodie
bags for her friends, a pass the parcel and the head from her birthday cake. Kitty especially enjoyed wearing the 'birthday girl' hat and dancing.

Later in the month we headed to Nottingham for little Cassian's naming ceremony. We took Cas a plant - Pennisetum Cassian's Choice (fountain grass).

It was a lovely day and Kitty enjoyed bossing Cas around! We stayed over with mama and grandad Simpson. By this time Kitty was well on her feet and enjoyed running around in great mama Kitty's massive garden.
