| Maddy's Birthday Circle at ChildRoots |
We celebrated Maddy's actual birthday (April 25th) as well! I left Maddy birthday messages on the bathroom mirror for her to see when she woke up - she loved it - and she had her birthday circle at ChildRoots that afternoon. For the birthday circle, parents bring in photos of their child from every year of life, starting with newly born through present day. The birthday child shows the first photo to her class (starting with newborn), then holds the earth and walks around the "sun" (in our case, a yellow object placed in the middle of the rug representing the sun) as all her classmates sing: "The earth goes round the sun, the earth goes round the sun, the earth goes round the sun, the sun, another year is done." Then she shows the "one year old" photo, then singing again and walking around the "sun" and so on. At the end, all the kids who want to share special birthday messages with the birthday child.
That night Maddy enjoyed her Baskin Robbins Princess Ice Cream Cake and opened presents. We got her Calico Critters Rabbit Family, animals and some clothes. Mike and Jan got her...a new bike (but we had to go pick one out at a later date)! Mom and Dad got her some cute clothes and Shopkins kiddo beauty products in a cute little backpack.
It was a fun day!
