Grandpa's Birthday? Or Children's Birthday?

It was dad's birthday on 28 Sept. In the morning, I have already told the children what to expect after school. They will get to choose a birthday cake for their grandpa. I knew this will excite them with anticipation. Cieran was in lovely mood when I picked him at his childcare. He greeted me with his charming smiles and asked if he had got his shoes in the correct position. He had been a GOOD boy lately. Realised that he had been using words such as "thank you mummy", "you're welcome", "It's alright" etc. Believed he had learnt that in school and have been using them in the correct manner. Cieran had also been more independent. He has been going to the toilet on his own, able to undress himself, as well brushing his own teeth (though sometimes he skipped brushing). As a reward for his wonderful smile greeting me, and for being 'super boy' for not crying in school, I gave him an apple. Cieran was trilled over the apple and clapped his hands! A easily satisfied child! Ashley was equally happy to see us when we waited at the canteen. She ran towards us and happily reminded me that they will be getting a cake for grandpa. 2 children were so happy. On the way, Ashley shared her sweets (from a friend's birthday) with Cieran. When they are not quarrelling, they can be such lovely siblings! Haha.... Once I parked the car, the 2 children couldn't delay further in getting down and ran towards the bakery shop. Cieran immediately laid his eyes on a chocolate 'mountain-like' cake, while Ashley prefers the cherry vanilla. After short discussion, the children decided on Cieran's choice. They also selected 5 candles (with mixed colours) to go along with the cake. The excitement followed through dinner as awaiting us was a sumptuous meal. Mum prepared fried vermicelli, spring chicken, spring rolls and curry. The cake is for desert. The children eagerly waiting for me to set the cake on the table. Ashley and Vernon enjoyed placing the candles on the cake, while greedy little Cieran anxiously looking at the grapes on the cake! All the kids got so excited that I wonder if it's dad's birthday or theirs! After I lit the candles, Cieran was the 1st to clap his hands and sing the birthday song. All children sang so loudly and happily that caused joy to all of us, especially dad. The night was filled with happy children with lots of laughter in the house.
