Next week is a birthday week in our family. My youngest son turns 14 on Monday and my oldest son turns 16 on Thursday. Cake all round! And this also means…back to the L plates!
Speaking of youngest son, he and several other lads shaved their heads in front of the school yesterday for Shave for a Cure. They raised close to $4000 for the charity. Some people might think that it’s easy for boys to shave their heads but this was not an easy decision for my son. As a parent of boys and a girl, I have noted that my sons are just as interested in looking their best as their sister is, so shearing off his hair, in front of a crowd, shows a strength and confidence within my youngest that makes me quite proud of him.

Love the photo, and love the hazy background of the harbour bridge.
Lots of birthdays here too. March is a very popular birthday month. My mum’s was last Tuesday, brother-in-law was 2 days ago, my nieces daughters was yesterday, my daughter’s birthday is tomorrow and son-in-laws niece (the little girl he and my daughter are looking after indefinitely) will be 8 this coming Thursday.
Good on your son for shaving his head for a good cause!

I always joke that March here is like Christmas 2.0 because my daughter’s birthday is on the 30th as well. But you have it even more so!😁

We have a family birthday week as well – it all happens in the last few days of November – hectic before Christmas!
$4000 is a HUGE effort. Well done to them.

Just before Christmas! I’d prefer March… 😄
They had a lot of fun in the lead up too, fundraising and planning. It’s been a really valuable experience for him to be a part of.
