My son turns 3 today and it marks the official 3 years of my motherhood. His birthday coincides with Mother's day, a blessed day indeed. We arranged for a short celebration just a week before inviting our neighbor kids whom adore Ari-chan. Yes, they call him Ari-chan affectionately and often converse with him in our backyard. I prepared a cake as usual and this time he helped me with the baking process by carefully mixing and not forgetting, licking the dough. I also ordered a strawberry cake from a friendly bakery near our house to serve to his friends. I invited my friend Menglu and both she and Satya bought some naan bread for our guests. Earlier, we celebrated by going to Shinsaibashi, our usual hanging spot because he loves train rides, especially the Hankyu train. During the ride, he likes to stand and look out of the window while describing what he sees and also hears in the train, particularly the door closing and signal sound. Apart from that, he also enjoys sitting at the first car and watch the driver maneuver the train. It was raining very heavily in the morning and by the time the guests arrived at about 4pm, it was drizzling. He was calm when we sang his birthday song and blew the candle successfully to which our neighbors said 'omedetou'. They enjoyed the cake and the naan bread and we enjoyed watching the kids play together. He slept early feeling happy and proud.
