On Her Actual Birthday...

We celebrated at the school, together with her friends.


A day before that, I have prepared the goodies bags for her classmates (11 of them, including Ern) Nothing fancy but a small packet of Milo, Rockey biscuit, raisin, kit-kat and lollipop (i got this free)! I put them in the transparent box and tie with a violet color ribbon. I find this simple and nice. What's more, the mummies can re-use the container.

Coincidentally, there is another 4yo girl had the same birthday as Ern. So, both celebrated together.

The children is like a pro, they know what needs to be done. None of them run up to the table, trying to blow the candle or cut the cake. They just sit down, sing the birthday song real loud and clapped while singing. Then, all of them waited patiently for the teachers to give them a piece of cake as their morning snack. It's really well discipline and sometimes, we (parents) need to salute the teachers how they trained the kids.

I guess they have done it many times. Most children celebrated birthday in school because I often see Ern brought her goodie bags. Almost once every month!
