Tryfan turns 6

Tryfan is a big 6 year old now. His birthday was yesterday but Rhodri was away for the weekend so we had already planned to celebrate next weekend. First we went out to dinner on Thursday night at La Casa. Tryfan was absolutely horrified when the staff put on a Happy Birthday song and banged some pots and pans on his behalf.

We tried to make his actual day (Saturday) a bit special too. Rhiannon and I gave him some presents this morning and then we went for an expedition in the forest with Lou and Arnold, then stayed home and played all afternoon before having dinner at our neighbor's house.

Tryfan was really excited to get a Spyro Skylander dressing up costume as well as the Skylander figure called Ninjini.

On Sunday we got together with Bruno and Cat and went to see the movie Turbo in 3D. We had been looking forward to this for a couple of weeks so it was extra fun. And we ended up seeing Sophie and Oscar at the cinema as well by coincidence, so after the movie we all went to play at the park for a bit. Afterwards, we all went grocery shopping and then back to our house for a late lunch and play. Good times!

And so, at 6 years old, Tryfan :

• is very snuggly and cuddly
• is really good with numbers, often playing with them in his head and then sharing some pattern he has found or summation he has done
• is a really good reader, sometimes immersed for hours with his nose in a chapter book
• is very focused on things when he is doing them
• loves doing taekwondo (as seen in his pose!)
• wants to be a faster runner
• talks about Skylanders or Lego Chima characters all the time
• loves playing computer games (at other people's houses)
• gets very upset at injustice
• is still not a big fan of crowds
• loves Bentley and the kittens and also his family
