“You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth” Kahlil Gibran.
Every Monday for the rest of this year I will share with you two photo’s of my children that celebrate their childhood.
Jake
This weeks photo’s have to be from World Book Day, it was the highlight of our week, that and pancakes. Jake went back to school on Wednesday after being off with the chickenpox. He’s settled right back in and is loving being with his friends and teachers again. I went into his class on Thursday for a parent workshop all about reading which was really nice.
In less than two months Jake will turn five, he asks me daily how many days until his birthday I think he might be a little excited about it. He wants to have a little tea party at home and visit an aquarium too which I’m sure we can accommodate.
Daisy
Daisy chose to dress up as Sophie from The BFG, she’s loving Roald Dahl books at the moment which is so lovely as he was my favourite author as a child too. She really enjoyed celebrating world book day this year and can’t wait to spend her book token.

To be almost five and excited about your birthday! Bottle it up quick. Lovely costumes. I hope they had fun. I’m sure they did. No dressing up at secondary, but school did give out the vouchers and have the little books available for them to select, which I was impressed by. #MMBC
He certainly is excited, we are on a daily countdown now x
World Book Day and Pancake Day in the same week really is living the dream! I love it when children get excited about books and Roald Dahl is an excellent choice! x
If only it was a weekly thing, I could happily eat pancakes and celebrate books every day of the week x
It looks like your children had great fun for world book day. To be almost 5 is so exciting, his birthday plans sound rather lovely #mmbc
They loved world book day, they just need to decided which book to buy with their tokens x
Cute photos – as a child, I would have loved the idea of dressing up as one of my favorite book characters for school. #MMBCC
I wish they had done something similar at school too as I was a right little book worm even then x
Ahh the excitement of a birthday, we are counting down daily to a third birthday, I’m worried it will be quite an anticlimax when we finally get there! I loved the BFG too when I was younger, can’t wait to re-read all of those classics!
Once birthdays are over in our house the kids normally find something else to countdown to like holidays or something at school. We are forever counting down for something x
Aww! What lovely World Book Day costumes. The BFG was one of my favourite books when I was about Daisy’s age x
I think it was everyone’s favourite along with Matilda, I still love them now even as an adult x
They both look fab! I love that Jake has the actual toy from his book too 🙂 #LivingArrows
He’s very attached to his Kevin toy, it brings the book to life for him. We love bookish props, we have a Christmasaurus too !
I can’t wait for my children to be old enough to celebrate World Book Day. I’m sure they will love dressing up.
I’m sure they will love it, it’s so much fun thinking up ideas and getting to go to school in a costume x
It’s lovely to see how quickly little ones adjust to different settings as if they’d never been away. #LivingArrows
Oh the dream jar is fantastic. I can not wait until Monkey is into the BFG. He went as as Harry Potter. Sounds like school is going really well for Jake glad he’s settled back in again really quickly #LivingArrows
They both look awesome for World Book Day! I love how into books they are x
