Adam’s school celebrates birthdays with a birthday walk. They have a sun with the twelve months of the year. Then for every year of the child’s life they walk around while a parent reads about that year in the child’s life. I’m lucky that Adam’s school is (traffic permitting) not too far from work so I was able to go and read his birthday walk for him. He was SO EXCITED to see me. He told all his friends, ‘This is my mommy!’.
All his friends were so cute and so excited for Adam’s birthday walk. Can’t you just feel the excitement 🙂
Adam was so happy and showed everyone where his birthday was and how it said Adam Malek Ali’s birthday!
He listened to all I had to say with this adorable face on. His friends were all such good listeners, maybe they just knew I had brought a cake but I think they really were genuinely interested.
Apparently this is what I look like when I talk to little toddlers, they didn’t seem scared….I swear they like me. One of Adam’s friends even said he wanted to come home with me. So the hunched shoulders thing maybe works?
Showing everyone a picture of ‘Year two’
Here is what I read:
Year one- Adam Malek Ali was born on a cold winter day, on December 6, 2011 in Washington DC. Adam was a whole 9 pounds when he was born and we loved him so much right away. He loved to explore things and climb up and down our stairs over and over again! Adam was a happy baby and he loved to smile. We used to call him the Mayor because he loved to smile at everyone. He loved when we would read him books and used to rub our ear when we fed him his milk. His first word was dada. When Adam was just one year old we moved to the Philippines.
Year two- Right after Adam’s second birthday Adam became a big brother! His brother’s name is Malcolm and he loves Adam very much. When Adam was two years old the whole family took a big trip to Greece for a whole month. We played on the beach and got to see our Aunt Das and Uncle Nooj.
Year three- Adam just turned three. He loves to read and sing. His favorite animals are horses, sharks and dinosaurs and his favorite song is Happy Birthday. He has lots of favorites books but some of his favorites are It’s Christmas David, Little Blue Truck and Horton Hears a Who. His favorite goods are gummy bears, chicken soup and fish.
We love him so much! Happy birthday Adam
Then it was everyone’s favorite time, cake time!
After Adam blew out his candles his class gave him some fireworks claps. It is the cutest thing I have ever seen and Adam loved it.
