Landon's 1/2 birthday!

At Landon's school we celebrated his half birthday on Tuesday January 13th. I felt bad that he couldn't celebrate with his friends on his birthday because it was in July. So we decided he could have a half birthday instead.

Each birthday kid gets to decorate his own crown and be the center of attention at circle time.

Landon got to hold the earth and walk around the sun 3 1/2 times to show how long he has been on Earth (it's a montessouri thing!).

Then they share pictures and tell their life story.
Afterwards, he sits in the chair while the other kids either give him a hug or shake his hand to congratulate him. This is our family friend Cody who is in his class.
The last part of the celebration is to eat a birthday treat--today it was cupcakes. I think he enjoyed the celebration, although he didn't get any presents.

That is cute! Timothy won't be able to celebrate his birthday during school either since it is at the end of June. His half birthday is Christmas Eve - so that's not an option either. I guess the teacher will have to think of something else;)
