20 Questions for Jed on his 11th Birthday

So our birthday hat trick wraps up with my little guy turning 11 today. Can you imagine? the baby who was just a year old when I started this blog is now a strapping lad about to enter secondary school in September! Jed has had an epic 11th birthday so far with his best friends round for another sleepover, plus all the usual cake, goodies and mayhem.

In fact, it’s been a pretty great week since he was top scorer for his school team at a tournament (they came second!) and he’s off with the Babe Papa to watch Arsenal today. You’ll see football is still his main passion… find out what’s new in his 11th birthday interview.
