I celebrated my birthday this past week.  I was in Kindergarten for 4 out of the 5 days, and they are the cutest when they know you have some huge life event going on!  Maybe it’s the snot dripping down their face as a huge, shy smile comes across their face when they say Happy Birthday.  Maybe it’s because they will get just as excited to say Happy Birthday to you the following day, when they’re only 364 days early for the next one.  Maybe it’s the rush to be the first to say it, which includes the rushing in the phrase happybirthday!!! (and of course, the louder they say it, the faster it counts for, for some reason).  Maybe it’s the contagious-ness of the fact that one person remembers, and then the rest all feel the need to say it individually all at once.

Whatever it is, they’re stinkin’ cute! (sometimes literally…)
