Yes, the little guy is not so little anymore!!! On Friday he turned 6!
We started off the birthday festivities with plans to go out to dinner. Now we wanted to make this a special dinner for the special occasion. So this required us to venture out of our usual restaurant circuit.
I left work early, and we planned on going into the city for dinner. Now mind you... we don't do this very often. You will see why later. We left home just after 5 and headed off to a restaurant that we had not been to before. This is one that is in every major city across the world.... No, not McDonald's.... It was Hard Rock Cafe (yes, there is one in Bangalore). So, Milan got all dressed up for the occasion with his shirt and tie and off we went.
Left the house about 5:15, and I had a feeling that we had just missed our 'window' of avoiding the traffic. Yes, we were stuck in the infamous Bangalore traffic. Milan fell asleep in the car.... and we arrived a hour and a half after we left our house!! Yes, that was correct, a hour and a half!!!!! By the time we got there, we were STARVING! Dinner was great!!! Nachos, spinach dip, veggie burgers, chicken burgers, fries...... YUMMMY!!! We were so hungry that we wolfed down in just over an hour (yes, less time that what it took us to get there!!). Now the ride home.... We thought that we would be able to just zip home... Not so lucky!! Over an hour to get home too!!!
Now you know why we don't venture into the city for dinner on a Friday night!!!
Check out the pictures.....
The birthday celebration continued into the next day. This was the actual party.... He was SOOOOO excited leading up to it!! It was really sweet to see!! The actual party with his class mates and neighbors. The kids truly raised the roof in noise level along with a lot of fun. The build up to the party by his truly (Milan) was amazing, full of excitement. Milan would ramble off many ideas; the best way to sum up his excitement was by his actions. If you have ever seen the original King and I musical (1956), Milan’s actions were similar to that of ‘Yul Brynner’, only that he had pointed out all his ideas and requests with that cheeky smile. How can one not melt to these ideas and requests?
The kids had a blast! Mira and one of her friends set up a face painting station, we had a bouncy castle, and a Magician. Of course there was Pizza and Cake. The cake was AMAZING!!! It was in the shape of Lighting McQueen!! Full on 3-D version!
Our 'Babu-chuck' (my nickname for him) is truly maturing.
