Lennon turns three February 5, 2006
Lennon turned three years old on January 23 and we held a party for him the day before, a Sunday, because it wouldn’t be as much fun if we hold it on a school day.
Incidentally, January 22 was also the Pacquiao-Morales fight, which Pacquiao won by technical knockout on the 10th round. I’m not a fan of boxing, it’s such a cruel sport, but I watched the Pacquiao-Morales rematch because anything that has reached a level of page 1 newsworthiness deserves some attention.
But more than anything, I remembered that the fight also happened on Lennon’s birthday party because when I husband and I went to the Goldilocks branch in Mandaue City (unfortunately they don’t deliver to the Lapu-Lapu City branch anymore) to get my son’s birthday cake, the same time that the fight started its delayed airing on television, the street was eerily deserted. To think that I pass this road six days a week to work and it’s always full of vehicles.
But back to my son’s birthday party, fortunately Lennon did not consider it a day for troublemaking–unlike a previous birthday when he bit so hard on the glass when he drank from it that he took off a piece and it consequently sliced his tongue–so it went smoothly.
We had roasted pork (a whole pig), there was much to celebrate with my son turning 3 not less among them his being able to speak at last, and balloons, upon special request of the celebrant.
Below are more pictures of the party.
