The birthday stats:

Height:  4’ 6”/ 137.2 cm (94th %… doesn’t take after his dad that way.)

Weight:  86 lbs/ 39 kg (a bit too heavy… perhaps does take after his dad this way)

We’re off for a sushi lunch today… his favorite.  Birthday presents include the Diet Coke and Mentos Kit ala MythBusters :).  No big kid party this year, although I’m gonna take them bowling again this weekend, like last year.  And it would not be complete without the traditional Danish birthday song:

I dag er det Malcolms fødselsdag!  (today is Malcolm's birthday)
Hurra! Hurra! Hurra!
Han sikkert sig en gave får             (he's sure he'll find a gift)
som han har ønsket sig i år            (that is something he's wished for this year)
og dejlig chokolade med kage til.   (and delicious chocolate and cake)

Hvor smiler han, hvor er han glad   (how he smiles and is happy)
Hurra! Hurra! Hurra!
Men denne dag er også rar,            (but his day is also nice)
for hjemme venter mor og far       (for mother and father are waiting at home)
med dejlig chokolade med kage til.  (with delicious chocolate and cake)

Og når han hjem fra skolen går,       (and now he walks home from school)
Hurra! Hurra! Hurra!
Så skal han hjem og holde fest,       (he plans to go home to a party)
og hvem der kommer med som gæst,  (and those who come with him are guests)
får dejlig chokolade med kage til.    (finding delicious chocolate and cake)

Til slut vi råber højt i kor.                 (until at last we shout loudly in chorus)
Hurra! Hurra! Hurra!
Gid Malcolm længe leve må               (and wish Malcolm a long life)
og sine ønsker opfyldt få -                (and may he find his wishes fulfilled)
og dejlig chokolade med kage til.
