With Easter over it is time to turn our attention to birthdays

Edie will be turning 4 on the 8th of May

And has asked for a yellow bike and lots of rabbits

Her favourite things are pudding, cake, yellow and rabbits

As the youngest of five

There is not much that Edie needs in the way of books and toys

What she really wants is a yellow bike and a flowery helmet

For her bike we are looking at the Gingersnap from Bobbin Bikes

It is a glorious yellow colour

And a super stylish bike that I would quite like for myself

It is very expensive compared to the bikes we have bought for our older children

But she would really love it

And if we look after it it would probably sell on well

Or would be lovely to hand down to cousins, friends or grandchildren

In years to come

I wanted to get her the Banwood Betsy Helmet but I cannot find it in stock anywhere

So think we will go for a fun Doodle Dot one from Micro

Alongside her bike and helmet

Edie has asked for some yellow wellies

And a yellow umbrella

Kidly have some great colour-revealing ones that look great fun

She also wants to dress like a rabbit on her birthday

So I think I am going to get her a dress I have coveted for all of my girls over the years

This gorgeous liberty bunny dress from Wild Things

With a matching bunny hat!!

My mum, Edie’s Nanny, has bought her a gorgeous rabbit coat

From Lottie and Lysh

This is a coat that Edie already has

But she has grown out of it

So it will be lovely to have a new one

These are the exact colours and fabrics we have chosen

I cannot wait for Edie to open this and wear it

My cute little baby babbit

Though she is not a baby anymore

How is it possible that she is going to turn 4?

Another present that Edie will be getting on the 8th May

Is a Big Boo bunny from local small business OddBoo

The beautiful handmade bunny stands at 55cm tall

More than half the height of Edie

I am hoping that they will grow to be good friends

Big Boo comes in pyjamas and I have bought her a dress for daytime too

I am so excited for Edie’s birthday

It is hard not to be when she is looking forward to it so much

She has requested breakfast on a sandy beach

Sandcastle building

Then home for pancakes and presents

Before a visit from Granny and Grandad in the afternoon

She wants to have party food and cakes

And play lots of games in the garden

Here’s hoping for sunshine

To top off her day

The last present I plan to buy for Edie

Is a gift that keeps on giving

All the way til she turns 5

A book box subscription

And I think that I am almost decided on

Books and reading are important to us as a family

As is the value of kindness and so this feels like the perfect gift

For Edie

As she turns 4
