Jamie Turns ONE!

I feel so blessed to have met so many gorgeous mums and kids here in Jakarta and it’s always so fun to get together and see the kids play and celebrate milestone birthdays together.  This was the first time I have ever visited Pluit in the six years I have been here and it seemed so lovely and I was happy to visit a new part of this huge city. From the apartment windows we could see the water and boats sailing by, yachts moored outside of mansions and it was a completely new side of Jakarta for me to see and I loved it.   How nice to be able to wake up every morning and look out at the ocean as the first thing you see, rather than the sights and sounds of the crazy traffic.

Little Jamie was absolutely adorable as he got his hands stuck into the bright blue icing of his birthday cake – oh to be a kid again! We had such a lovely morning singing Happy Birthday and playing outside in the playground.. there was even a breeze blowing through.. a breeze in Jakarta! I couldn’t believe it.

So Happy 1st Birthday little Jamie and thank you for inviting us to celebrate your special day with you, and a huge congratulations to Jolien and Bas for making it through the first year with big smiles on your faces. Let the adventures continue together to be even more funas soon as he starts walking on his own!
