It was Boo’s 5th birthday on Friday. As it was the first one she’d had on a school day, we agreed with her that when she got up, she’d open just a couple of presents and cards, and she would then be coming home after school to a little birthday tea with close family and that’s when she’d open the rest of them. I was impressed with how good she was with this, especially given how excited she’d been in the run up to the big day, and the fact she was up from 3am on her birthday! So she went happily off to school, clutching a bag of sweets for her classmates and looking forward to ‘red’ day, wearing red and taking her red TMNTÂ (Raphael, in case you weren’t aware!).
What Boo didn’t know was that Daddy had booked the afternoon off work, so that he could come and meet her from school with Little Man and I. But, let’s be honest, lovely though that was, it was nowhere near as exciting as the fact that Daddy would also be carrying a brand new Maxi Micro Scooter with him! It also just so happened to be one that Boo had designed herself, using their Create Your Own option, so when she thought we were messing about playing a scooter game on the computer, she was actually making her own dream scooter, and the dream became reality! As you can probably tell from this photo, she was pleased…
Her little face was just precious when she spotted it, and she shot out of the gates and was soon getting the hang of it. Of course, once home, Little Man was also very keen, so we had the two of them scooting up and down the kitchen as soon as pressies had been opened and cake consumed! She loves it, as do I, and I will be bringing you a full review of it tomorrow, too.
Do your little ones love to scoot?
She looks so excited! Happy birthday Boo! My little O is 3 and likes his scooter but hasn’t quite got the hang of it just yet…
She loves it, and now my 2yo does, too…!
Oh wow what an amazing birthday surprise 🙂 I love moments like this where you get to surprise little ones 🙂
I was excited about the prospect for days! She was happy 🙂
It is fab that she created it herself, what an amazing present x #MagicMoments
I know, I love that element of it – just fab 🙂
Awww what a lovely birthday surprise!!!! x
#whatsthestory
Thank you! x
Oh wow, look at her face, she’s so happy! Happy Birthday to your beautiful little lady #whatsthestory
Thank you, she was very happy 🙂
No wonder she looks so happy-Daddy and a scooter! I hadn’t realised you could design your own, that sounds fun 🙂
She had it all, didn’t she?! yes, I love that part of it, too 🙂
Oh what a lovely #MagicMoment! And such a memory to treasure when she realised Daddy was there and then the scooter too – love the idea of designing one yourself by the way. Fab post and hope she had a lovely birthday x
It was so sweet, and that scooter is just brilliant! Thank you, she did 🙂 x
That’s brilliant! Our kids love to scoot. On mornings when my wife does the school run, all three of them scoot down to school – even two-year-old Kara, who then has to be driven to nursery.
It’s such a fun and easy way to get around – I’m thinking I need one now!
Oh wow what an afternoon. Z is completely in love with his little mini scooter and so I can imagine your little girls face when she got hers!! Her cake was pretty awesome too 😀
She was a very happy girl!
She looks so happy! And such a big girl and loving the hair. I’m glad she had such a lovely lovely time xxx
She was pretty pleased! Thank you, she does seem so grown up all of a sudden! She had a fabulous day, and the celebrations and treats continued all weekend! xx
Aww lucky boo and how fab she designed it herself! Fab scooter 🙂 xx #magicmoments
It’s brilliant!
Aw! That made me smile so much! What a fantastic birthday surprise and what a super-cool scooter! Hope she had a wonderful day! x
Ah, thank you. She loves it!
She looks absolutely thrilled! We love our micro scooters, although the 8yo graduated on to a razor last year 🙂 Happy Birthday Boo x #WhatstheStory
She was thrilled and loves it, as does Little Man! x
Oh what a wonderful birthday surprise for her and she looks so happy in the photo. Hope you all enjoyed celebrating her birthday 🙂
Thanks, she was very happy 🙂
It’s such a good idea to get her to design her ideal scooter without being aware that it would actually be made in to the real thing! She looks so happy!

It was fun to do together, but she was totally oblivious that it might become real!
Perfect outdoor fun, I hope she has plenty more goes for some autumn fresh air.
Oh yes, she’ll be scooting all over the place now!
aww happy birthday. Micro scooters are the best thing my boys have. The youngest is doing so well on his.
They are just fab, aren’t they? I can see it getting plenty of use!
What a fab birthday. She looks chuffed to pieces with her new scooter. Hope she had a fabulous day xx #whatsthestory
She loves that scooter! Thanks x
Lucas says – What an AWESOME present and how cool that you got to design it yourself. Hope you had a MEGA COOL day and ate loads of birthday cake! #whatsthestory
I love that she designed it herself, a fab pressie. She did, thanks 🙂

Hello there, what a fantastic idea, I had no idea you could create your own, that’s great! Our little boy had a scooter the Christmas before last, it came with a removable seat so he sat on it until he grew tall enough to ride it properly, and he does indeed love to scoot! x #magicmoments
It’s brilliant! Oh yes, I’ve seen those for little ones, great idea x
