16… He Can Drink Beer…

That’s right; here in Switzerland, one can legally drink beer, wine and cider as of 16 years of age. Yesterday, my boy turned 16! OMG!

Of course, there was no big celebration because we are still slowly coming out of partial lockdown due to the Covid-19 virus. So i made Tobias’ favourite cupcakes and we ordered his favourite food, sushi, and celebrated at home.

Here’s a look back at 15 years of birthdays:

Tobias’ 1st Birthday
Tobias’ 2nd Birthday
Tobias’ 3rd Birthday
Tobias’ 4th Birthday
Tobias’ 5th Birthday
Tobias’ 6th Birthday
Tobias’ 7th Birthday
Tobias’ 8th Birthday
Tobias’ 9th Birthday
Tobias’ 10th Birthday
Tobias’ 11th Birthday
Tobias’ 12th Birthday
Tobias’ 13th Birthday
Tobias’ 14th Birthday
Tobias’ 15th Birthday

Looking back, it’s so lovely to see how he has grown; and as his mother, i remember all the ups and downs but i am, first and foremost, and most importantly, very proud of him! i can’t believe how the years have just flown by.

Here’s the photos from Tobias’ 16th Birthday:

For My Mother…

i recently attended a webinar on poetry so i thought i try my hand at writing a poem for my mum on mother’s day.

Daisy, her name that is
Always there for us is she
In ups and downs, her constant love, on it we depend
Steadfast, always ready to catch us she is
You ask who is this she

My dearest mother she is
You see the very best is she

Makes wonderfully yummy food she does
Organised, at home and at work, always is she
Thankful for the many things i learned from her i am
Humble; always putting others before self is she
Ever ready to keep trying; tenacious she is
Repay her for years of dedicated care, forever try i will

mothersday20200510Thank you, Mummy, for everything!
Words are not enough.

Your beloved daughter
