All you need to make kids happy: Cupcakes, juice boxes and party hats. Oh yeah, Cheetos too. It was cute, they all sang to him and he was really happy to be the center of attention!! I took him back to work with me for the rest of the afternoon and he was so good! He went around and talked to everyone and was excited to tell them it was his birthday and that he was 2!
2pm: I got there a little early and it was still nap time. . .
. . . they said he always works his way off his mat?
?? He LOVED the hats? Who knew!
EXCITED! About Cupcakes!! See the girl in the back with her mouth open, haha!
The little girl on the left is Jayln. She LOVES Stratton. She calls him “Stratty!” They tell me that She and Stratton hold hands and hug a lot!? Hmmm, I don’t know that I like that! They aren’t in the same class anymore since Stratton moved up a few months back, but they say that she always asks for him in the morning. How cute is that? And he has to go give her a hug before we leave in the afternoon.
So, this must just come naturally for boys?
The teachers are constantly telling us how smart he is and how fast he picks up on things, usually before the older kids. In the last few weeks he has mastered colors and is working on ABC’s. He really likes it “at school” and talks about the kids and the teachers a lot at home. Especially Mrs. Tonya. . . he tells us he is “Tonya’s baby!”? That stinker. And she tells me that he gets really jealous if she is holding or working with another kid!
