He is caring, loving, thoughtful, silly, crazy, strong willed, determined, fun loving and would eat the whole packet of Oreo's if you let him.
He has only gone and turned 6 years old today. Six years!! Where did it go?

Our little dude turned five this week. Five whole years of pure Alfie magic.
Here are a few snapshots of his birthday marathon weekend;
Batman Marshmallows
Don't even ask how much yellow food colour it took to get that colour!
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, Batman!
Birthday brother cuddles.
Launchpad Trampoline Park.
Marble Slab Snickerdoodle Ice Cream Cake
Happy Big Five Alfie- you really are a superstar!
Alfie is a very strong willed child.
He knows what he wants and it usually has little to do with pleasing anyone other than himself. He has no real desire to listen or obey his teachers at Pre School, at swimming lessons or generally any situations where adults ask him to do things.
Harry, his elder, calmer brother always loves to please. If his teachers asked him to do something he is overjoyed to do his very best to meet their demands with a smile upon his face. Oh how brothers can be so different at times!
Here are just a few snippets of classic Alfie:
Alfie: I love you mummy
Me: Love you too
Alfie: Now can I have some crisps!
...............................................................................................................................
Mummy: Alfie clean up this game, put the pieces back in the box
Alfie: No
Mummy: Who got the pieces out?
Alfie: Me
Mummy: So you got them out, who should put them back?
Alfie: You
..............................................................................................................................
The boy is a dude though and loves nothing more than cuddles and kisses with me, hubby and his big brother Harry (when he is not trying to hit him, smash his lego or generally jump on him from a great height).

You know your own kids. You know what they like and what they don't like. You know when they are in a good mood and when they are grumpy too.
Alfie went for his first every optician appointment the other day. He does not need glasses like his big brother. We did our best to keep him sat and paying attention and opticians are very good at getting what they want from little kids but as we sat down at the end for his assessment of Alfie's eyes we had to giggle at his words:
"Well Alfie is a strong willed, squirmy child with a short attention span".
We were amazed. Five minutes with Alfie and the optician described him perfectly. Well done that man!
P.S. Halloween is coming! We are getting crafty here in the spooky Chatterton residence- how about you?
