Lauren's 5th Birthday!

It's Lauren's 5th birthday today, and she celebrated with her new friends and teachers at kindergarten!



It was good to see her so happy at kindergarten after a difficult first few days where she cried, yelled, and screamed whilst adapting to her new lifestyle!

Our friend, Aunty Dora, made the cake for us. Click here for more of Aunty Dora's cakes




All of her friends gathered round as the teachers started singing "Happy Birthday" to her in English and Malay:

We joined Lauren and her friends for her birthday celebration at 10am today, which is breakfast time for this kindergarten.




Leah wasn't afraid to go and join Lauren and the others!

    a birthday party at school? I can't believe I never seen that in person. Though my schools technically prohibited parties. We had to call them celebrations during special events...

    Must of been fun for them. Happy birthday to her.

    HAPPY 5TH BIRTHDAY DARLING LAUREN!
    It's so comforting to see her happy and relaxed at school. Having a birthday celebration there may have broken the ice and be a real turning point for her.
    Tell Lauren I will do my VERY best to be with her on her 7th birthday.
    Lots and lots of love always, Grandma Horne xoxox

    So many comments on this post, Duncan! Happy 5th birthday to little Lauren. She is beautiful. I do hope that she will now settle down in Kindergarten and be happy there. It's always a bit worrying when they go away from mummy and daddy and out into the big world as it were!
