A Leicester boy is hoping for a perfect 10, as he celebrates a very special birthday.

George Lippitt, from Thurcaston, will turn 10 at exactly 1010 BST on 10/10/2010.

His mother Jodie Lippitt, 34, said family will gather at 1010 BST to celebrate with George at home, who is really excited about his special day.

“I couldn’t believe it when the midwife wrote the time and date on his sheet – we have been waiting for this day.”

“He was born at a special time and has been special ever since”

Mrs Lippitt said George, who is her first-born, had always been special.

“When I found out I was pregnant I was told there was a 99.9% chance the baby would be unhealthy, so when he arrived safe and well it was a real relief.

“He was born at a special time and has been special ever since.”

George, who is a keen golfer, will celebrate with a birthday cake in the shape of a golf course 10th-hole.

He will celebrate with his mother, father Wayne Lippitt, 35, sister Grace, seven, and other family members before going on to a skating party with 17 of his friends.
