He's been around the sun twice! Nathan, our 'little mini star', is becoming a big boy. And he's currently obsessed with trucks, cars, tractors, and just about anything on wheels. Last week he told 'Nangesh' he wanted a bull dozer for his happy b'day.
The birthday morning looks sunny and gorgeous after a long spate of rains. Nathan sports khaki overalls with a bright orange tee but refuses to keep his hard hat on. It's a construction b'day party and he can't wait for Nagesh to get his ditch digger running.
The table outside is lined with his fleet of tractors and bull dozers. Ammamma has made him a book with pictures of Indian cars. Divya akka has baked him a bright red buttery fire truck cake. Caution tapes flutter brightly in the wind. The guests have a great time, especially the tiny ones as they smack the pinata with all their might. Lilian, the delicate, smashes it to bits. Arusha and Tanvi waste no time gathering the scattered candies. The tiny tots all decorate their hard hats with stickers and colored markers.
Nathan is now stuck to his new battery operated life size racing car. Daddy has to make battery recharging excuses to get him unstuck. Nathan is thrilled with all his new presents but most of all with all his little friends and cousins.
We hope for all the joys in the world for our favorite little boy. Happy Birthday Nathan!
