Kyle's 5th Birthday at Ascension 080508

8th May 2008. Kyle celebrated yet another year of birth in school but with another girl from a different class this time. Meryl went up the stage as per last year but this time, but this time she was treated with hostility from his brother who pushed her away when she tried to stand next to him. Apparently he had told our helper the night before that he did not want his sister to be on stage with him but I was not aware and had asked Meryl up to be on the stage with her brother to lend him some support. He got a stern warning from us for treating his sister thus. But on hindsight, we realised that he wanted all the attention and did not want his sister to steal any limelight.The whole family turned up to celebrate with his friends and teachers. Kyle was especially delighted to see his father and seemed to bask in his attention. He was extremely showy and shy at the same time. A girl, Elizabeth quietly gave him a Ben 10 pouch after which we teased him mercilessly about . He told us that Elizabeth does not like Ben 10 but had asked her father to buy it especially for him.


The photo taking took place first and then they sang him a birthday song. (the girl on his right is Elizabeth) He was asked about his birthday resolutions which included showering himself, wiping his own backside, cleaning his own dishes etc.


After the cake cutting and eating ( together with some konyaku jelly made by Jo), he distributed his party gifts which included Mickey Mouse colour pencils, a pack of Jack and Jill chips and some Wang Wang biscuits. We had to rushed through this as I had specially taken this day off to celebrate his birthday and to bring him for a movie, Ironman.

That's Kyle giving out his party gifts. This is the classroom with dramatic play corner (on the loft is the living room with racks of clothes for dress-up games), below is a miniature kitchenette, on the other side is the art and craft and reading centre.



This was one of the artwork done by Kyle that I saw in the room.

Both kids sat through the show amidst popcorns and chips ( a treat for them) and Meryl only fell asleep on the way back home!
