January 23: Happy Birthday, Sam!

Today we celebrated Sam's fourth birthday. His parents read a hilarious story about  a little T-Rex who couldn't stop eating her friends at school. We all got a kick out of it, and were grateful that there are no real dinosaurs in the Rainey Room. After Sam circled the candle and blew it out (with a little help), Sam's birthday committee presented him with a very special wishing rock, decorated with  Sam's favorite colors: "All the colors inside of the world, except white." They wished for him a dinosaur shirt (Sally), a choo choo train (Will), a race car (Grace), and funny teeth (Louise). 
Later, we all enjoyed a delicious--and also hilarious--picnic snack of brownies made by Sam and his family. It was a wonderful day.
