Daycare Birthday Celebration

March 9, 2010

As usual the daycare celebrated Emma's birthday with a little party and some cake. Emma had a great time, enjoyed everyone signing "Happy Birthday" to her and of course she ate quite a bit of her cake!

Aunt Agnieszka was able to join us at the party while Tata got stuck at work and couldn't make it :(  After cake Emma had fun playing with her friends. There are four children in her group now as the other group got moved to another room. Her best friend is Alexa (the other dark blond in the group and the one who is holding Emma's hand) and she also is friends with Katherine. Jacob, the only boy and part-time student in the group unfortunately often gets excluded. I guess they start early. They played dolls, Emma build a princess castle with blocks and danced a little bit to show off her "dress" of course. She did that most of the day twirling anytime someone made a comment on her dress. So cute!

There is also a picture of Emma with her teacher Traci. Traci has been Emma's toddler teacher since Emma was 18 months old and moved to Toddlers. She is just great with Emma providing her with warmth, support, discipline, and kindness whenever she needs it. She has also been instrumental in helping us keep Emma bilingual. Traci will truly be missed when Emma moves to Preschool soon. She starts her transition to Preschool on March 22, 2010. Too soon for Mama! My baby can't be old enough to enter Preschool although I know she is more than ready. She will be missed by Traci and especially Alexa.

Here is a video of Emma cutting the cake!
