Since his birthday is so close to the exam, I bought his present a month ago. Regrettably, it was delivered while we were eating dinner and he signed for it. He didn't know what it was, but he got to shake the box. I intended on hiding it in my room until this week, but the day it arrived I put it on my bed and went back into the kitchen. I heard a strange noise and looked out into the living room where he was shaking and listening to the box. A little while later, I joked that I should put it under the banana tree and we could call it the birthday tree. (The banana tree is a holder to keep the bananas from getting those yucky black marks on them). Later, I went to open the box to make sure that his present arrived in one piece, and it was missing. I was a little panicked until I looked under the banana tree--Farley moved it while I wasn't looking. I grabbed the and opened the box, wrapped up his presents, put them back in the box, wrapped the box and put it back under the banana tree where it sat until his birthday. I was going to get a picture, but Farley wanted to open it a little earlier than I thought he would. It has been sitting there for a month so he opened his present a few hours early (before I had time to bake the brownies and sing "Happy Birthday"... perhaps it was the thought of my singing that made him want to open the present early). Since he loves reading, I got him a couple of novels for after the exam.
Happy Birthday Farley!!
