An Almost Birthday

My mom did something pretty special for me today. Even though my real birthday isn't for another month, she arranged for my teachers and classmates to celebrate my birthday early. This way I didn't miss out on some special songs and attention from so many nice friends. I got to wear the birthday crown, they sang some songs and we ate (pretend) chocolate cake. I even took a piece of pretend cake to my little sister, but I don't think she understood what was going on.

And then my mom read a book to our class. We gave a copy of "Library Lion" to the school in honor of my birthday. I think my friends liked it when my mom asked the class to roar like a bunch of lions!

No we aren't brainwashed

We picked these outfits out ourselves. Honest!

It's a hoe-down!

A couple of weeks ago we had the "Hoe-Down" for my school. The teachers had been helping us practicing new songs and some square dancing moves for weeks so it was fun to do our little show for our parents. But first we had to have dinner. A picnic in the park!

I'm somewhere here in the crowd of kids singing "Oh Susannah". Can you find me?

Then it was time to show off our square dancing moves. I think our parents were pretty impressed. There were cameras and camcorders everywhere. Afterwards we got to play in the park. We stayed out extra late and didn't get home until after 8. It was a blast!
