Today was Esther's birthday celebration at pre-school. For the students who have summer birthdays, they celebrate their half birthday. Since her half birthday is during Christmas break, this was the date they chose for her. Esther kept saying it was her "pretend" half birthday because she knows that her real half birthday is on Peter's birthday next week! I took the afternoon off work so that I could go along for the fun and be the helper for the day, and I'm so glad I was able to be there!
The best part of the afternoon was when Birthday Lion came out. Birthday Lion is one of Mrs. M's puppets and he comes out for each child's birthday. He always thinks it's his birthday, so the kids have to correct him. Then they have to give him clues about whose birthday it really is by describing the child because he doesn't hear names. It's so cute, and the kids get so excited about it!
Esther was made to feel so special all day. We started the afternoon by telling about what Corduroy the bear had done at our house all weekend. She got to be the line leader when they went to library and she called shirt colors to dismiss the kids for snack. She also got a birthday crown and birthday balloon flower, and we brought cupcakes and a small gift for the class.
