Today, Monday, is Matilda's actual birthday. At her pre-school when someone has a birthday the class makes cupcakes. Later in the afternoon a parent brings a favorite book which they read to the class while they eat up the birthday cupcakes. The book is then donated to the school. Pretty cool. Matilda LOVES the story of Ferdinand the Bull so that book was chosen. I got to go with Tracy for the book reading and I took this picture of Matilda as everyone sang Happy Birthday to her. She passed a hurdle this year. Until this year, every time the group gathers to sing to her, she gets so embarrassed by the attention that she begins to cry. She made it through without tears this year at both the party and at school. As you can see, she was still very shy about it---but no tears.
I agree!!
