Saturday 28th February 2015 ~ Today we all went to the Vestry House Museum for my naming ceremony. I wore a white shirt with blue tractors on it and my red cord trousers
Lots of people came to celebrate my naming day with me
My Grandmas and Grandads, Uncles and Aunts, cousins, a lot of Clara's and Mummy and Daddy's friends and my friend Dorothy Dickens!
Grandad Mel read 'If' by Rudyard Kipling

Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
And Grandad John read 'Follow Your Dreams' by Jim Boswell
You live the life that in your heart you know you really must
Follow your dreams Ira. Follow your dreams!
My sister Clara gave me this beautiful red star balloon
And my Grandma Catherine held me...
...while my Mummy and Daddy both made promises
My guide parents are Henry's Mummy Kumari and Marianne's Mummy Christine. Kumari said some beautiful words that made my Mummy cry and Christine read an Irish blessing: May the road rise to meet you. May the wind be always at your back...
Lots of people brought cake and other delicious things to eat
My Mummy made a tropical fruit cake with me and my sister on it...
...and Aunt Amy and Uncle Ed made cakes with a photo of me on them in my chair. Aren't they brilliant?
Everyone ate cake and played in the garden.
And they took it in turns to cuddle me
Luckily there was just enough Ira to go round before it was hometime
It was really good to see everyone again.
I had fun...
...and a great time playing with my balloon
There were so many people there who love me.
I, Ira Alexander Clifford, am a very lucky little boy.
