James humored us by acting surprised and excited to receive an IKEA pillow and featherbed. His three sisters already got them for their birthdays, so no surprise here, but he was truly excited.
James was the first person, way back last fall, to state that he really wanted to have his own featherbed. We had featherbeds when we first moved here and were living for 6 weeks with rented furniture. It was a bit of a downer when our belongings were delivered and we had to go back to our regular bedspreads. Then, when we went to Disneyland Paris, our cabin had featherbeds and everyone raved about sleeping under a toasty warm featherbed again. David and I realized that featherbeds and pillows would make the perfect birthday presents. Poor James, the child who wanted them the most, had to wait the longest.
James refused to pose all happy under his new featherbed in the top bunk, so our house gnome agreed to do it in his stead.
James was taken by surprise, however, when he unwrapped his new ripstick. A colleague brought it over for us from the States as they haven't hit Germany yet. I'm sure it's just a matter of time. When he took it out for a spin later, several kids asked James what that thing was that he was riding.
