On Thursday, the 19th of March my little Lukey turned 6! Here's a pic of him as a tiny baby and at 3 months (luke came just before the age of the DIGITAL CAMERA!). I can't believe he's 6 already!He was SO excited to have a birthday. At school he was the snack guy so we brought cupcakes. He is still TOTALLY addicted to Mario Bros. so he wanted invincible star cupcakes. After doing about 6 cupcakes with stars on them I ditched that idea and went for red and green mushroom cupcakes.
MUCH easier! The snack guy for the day is also the line leader and basically the teachers helper that day. ON a day that there is a birthday, right before snack all the kids color a picture to put in the "birthday book" for the birthday kid, w hile he passes out the snack.
Then they all sit down and wait for the "snack song" which starts out "Put your hand in your lap, in your lap.... put your hands in your lap and you're ready for a snack.... " Luke then got to tap each student on the shoulder to go find their place at a table for snack time. (this isn't different than any other day, but it's still cute!). Here's luke is the chair waiting for his turn to "tap" each kid on the shoulder. Try to ignore the kid picking his wedgie. Nice timing huh?
Then they sing happy birthday. Here is luke's expression during the happy birthday song.
I love how each kid gets to feel extra special at least once a month on their "snack" day, and especially on their birthdays. His teacher is excellent and does a wonderful job.After school we went to Fudruckers for dinner (it seems to be a tradition we go somewhere fun for a birthday dinner), then home for presents. Luke is my artsy kid, so we decided that since we were tired of his "art" being ALL over the house he needed a place to put it. Our cheap solution was a bulliten board to hang above his bed. It was a BIG hit and it's always got his most favorite creations on it. He also got some other fun little things - and of course, it was time for a tennis racket!
