She woke me up at 6:30 this morning, so wide eyed, and bushy tailed, and excited for the day. I, for a moment, was caught up in her jubilation.
At her school, on their birthday, they are crowned (see crown in below picture) queen (or king) of the day. Mr. T gives them a gift and the class sings "happy birthday." Parents are invited to join in for this ritual. We are encouraged to bring a treat for the class as well as a small gift, from Rhayn to every member of the class. She had been talking about this for months, planning and had a bag of treasures to share mostly some rocks that her grandpa had picked up in the desert. I can not remember what they are called, I am sure it is rosette quartz, but a google search brought up nothing that looked remotely like them. She wanted me to make banana bread, and I have a nice recipe for whole wheat banana bread. It was tasty, a little dry, but that was because I didn't have quite enough banana for two loaves. (There are twenty five students in the first grade class!)

As I was reading her a story, and helping her get ready for bed, she told me that she was sad that her birthday was over.
Me, too. Me, too.
