Happy Birthday Anna!


Normally I don't write about other kids' birthday parties, but this one wasn't just any birthday party. This one was Anna's, and Anna is practically family.

Trey and Anna have been sweet little buddies at school since all the way back in Nursery II, when they were about 8 or 9 months old, and they used to entertain one another during morning nap time while all the other kids were sleeping. Fast forward about 6 months to Movement 1, and their bond continued; the teachers used to tell me that Trey was the only one in the whole class who could make Anna laugh.

And still today, Trey and Anna are the best of friends. Whenever we ask Trey who he played with at school that day, his first answer is always "Anna." When Anna had a tough time moving to their current class, Toddler 1 (like most kids do; Trey, who rarely cries at school, also resisted the move), Trey would go up to Anna, hug her, and take her by the hand. What can we say, he loves her, and we approve. Anna is the sweetest little girl who gives the best hugs, and her parents couldn't be any nicer.

Anna's party was great. She invited everyone to her beautiful home, where all the kids dined on a huge spread of snacks and cookies. The highlight of the party was a full-blown puppet show! The kids enjoyed watching the story of the Three Little Pigs and, afterward, being entertained by a real marionette puppet. It was pretty cool.


But most of all, we enjoyed celebrating with sweet Anna. Happy birthday to the most darling 2-year-old little girl!!
