Jack's PRESCHOOL birthday

The last week in October is very busy for us.  We seem to have endless Halloween celebrations in conjunction with birthday celebrations for Jack.
Jack's preschool devotes the entire day to the birthday child.  You have to sign up at the beginning of the school year for their birthday party and the entire family is invited.

Lucy joined in for a day of school, the letter of the day was J. 

 All the kids had to print Jack for their assignment.

All the kids drew a picture and assembled a special birthday card book.

Jack then pointed to all the letters in his name for all the kids to see.

Then Jack decorated his crown with Mrs. Baylor, who founded the school 45 years ago, but does not currently teach the class.  King Jack ruled the rest of the day and handed out his cupcakes through this special stand to each child.  Everyone got a candle, while Jack got 5 candles.

Here is Jack handing a cupcake to his buddy and next door neighbor, Larissa, with his teacher, Ms. Debbie, assisting.

Jack requested multi colored cupcakes, so I labored and toiled and made camo cupcakes.  It was from a mix, but still hard work.

Then Jack led the birthday parade.  All the kids had to follow Jack, the leader.  He waddled like a penguin, so they all waddled like penguins.

Then King Jack paraded around the school and they sang to him multiple times.  What a completely magical day for Jack (and me).
