Dylan had his bday circle at school today. Yesterday, when we asked him what kind of cupcakes he wanted to bring, he said he didn’t want a birthday circle, he didn’t want to bring cupcakes, and he didn’t want a birthday banner. It turns out he just didn’t want to go to school. This lack of desire to go to school has definitely been a tricky thing for a few weeks now! When we woke up this morning, I was vaguely worried about what would be on his bday banner (nothing??? Did he tell his teachers he didn’t want one??), but it turns out they know him well (or, maybe he told them after all!)…Amber drew a fantastic Spiderman banner for him! And he was happy when he saw it!
I hadn’t anticipated staying for the bday circle, but Dylan was asking me if I was going to stay and was talking about sitting on my lap (rather than on the special “bday chair”), so I got “clearance” to stick around Santa Cruz so I could make it.
Once again, Dylan got a special little rope with one knot for each year he’s been around; he got to choose some songs (ABC Dinosaur and ABC’s!) and a story (If You Give a Moose a Muffin). Then he got to pick four candles to blow out.
I’d forgotten I was supposed to make the cupcakes the previous night, so it was a good thing I remembered before night-night time and Tom pulled through and baked and frosted 30 mini’s!
Sure hope he had a fun time celebrating at school. We’re looking forward to taking him to a special dinner on Thursday and to celebrating with pals on Saturday….
