Now We Are Six

Will recited the A.A. Milne poem to Duncan this morning on his sixth birthday:

When I was one

 I had just begun

When I was two

I was nearly new

When I was three

I was hardly me

When I was four

I was not much more

When I was five

I was just alive

But now I am six,

                                                            I'm as clever as clever;                                                           

so I think I'll be six now

for ever and ever.

He was quite pleased. 

His choice of gourmet for this evening is "hotdogs on a stick over a campfire".  I suspect there will be smores as well in lieu of birthday cake this evening.  We will have a birthday dinner weekend on Saturday too.
