Exactly 6 years ago on Monday March 1 2004, Scarlett was born at 7.50pm at RPA hospital in Camperdown. I remember the exact time because it was 20 minutes into that year's Oscar presentation and it meant it was the first time we missed it. We celebrated yesterday with a beauty parlour party for Scarlett and 8 of her friends.
This involved making a right mess of the living room dividing it into 3 treatment areas - a hair salon, nail bar and facial spa. I was on hair straightener and crimping duty, Rob was in charge of face pack application and removal and our friend George came over to help out on pedicures, and manicures. It's fair to say it was a roaring success and when we arrived at school this morning most of the girls still had their hairstyles in place even though today is school photo day. Scarlett had a blast, received loads of great pressies from her mates.
This morning she was out of bed before me - this NEVER happens - ready for the next round of gift opening, phone calls and birthday kisses from Flo. She received some fantastic stuff including a glittery hangbag and hair clips, a pop-up book of The Wizard of Oz plus writing books and stationery kits - all her most favourite things in the world. But she was particularly taken with her new dressing gown from Nanny and Grandad which she wore over her school uniform until it was time to go to school. Tonight we're out for pizza with George, Sophie and James and Godfather Brett.
