Since my birthday falls on the weekend, we celebrated at school today! I got to be the special helper and sit by Ms. Patsy.
I finally got to wear my birthday crown! It is green with blue glitter (I picked the colors) and it has five dots on each side with number 5 and my name in the middle. I described it for my whole class before Ms. Patsy put it on me.
Next we lit a candle to be the sun and then I put all 12 months of the year around it.
Starting at February (for my birthday) I carried the earth around the sun one time for each year. I got to tell them something about myself for each year (Mama helped with some). For instance, when I was one, I was already riding horses with Daddy. When I was 2, my favorite thing to play was trains and when I was 3 I loved Scooby Doo (some things don't change much!). When I was 4 I came to my new school and now I am turning 5!
Next John and all my friends sang Happy Birthday to me...
...and then I blew out the sun!
I got to dismiss my friends a few at a time to wash their hands for snack. While some were waiting we played Simon Says and I was Simon. My favorite commands are "Simon says touch your nose" and "Simon says jump up and down".
Finally, it was cupcake time. We had triple chocolate cupcakes - chocolate cake with chocolate frosting and chocolate sprinkles. Notice my special birthday boy ribbon with Optimus Prime on it!
John was excited to be part of my party and part of my class. Mostly he was excited to get a cupcake!
They were yummy!
Then we went over to Ms. Angie's class to see my other friends. They sang Happy Birthday to me and then I dismissed them to wash their hands and they got to have cupcakes. I go to this class in the afternoons and it was really important to me to share my birthday with these friends, too!
I really appreciate everyone helping make a special day just for me!
