so surprised

We didn't remind him last night as we wanted him to sleep properly, so it wasn't until Amos wished him happy birthday when he came down the stairs that he realised. After The Openings it was pointed out that there was another present across the room. Whilst "a Darth Vader balloon!" was one of the things it was more the thing in front of it which had been meant, though perhaps he didn't think that was for him as he thinks he has a bike already and this one was much bigger, to the extent that he only cleared the minimal inside leg earlier this week. In the evening there was just time for popping to visit grandparents, and a freshly-flown-up aunty and cousin for a small bit of cake.
