Final Day before winter break

It was an "all Rainey Room" day in the virtual classroom.  We were sad that we did not get to see Saul, but we had a great day together.  There was so much joy and silliness!  We made some messages for friends so that they would know we were thinking of them even in our time apart.

"Watercolors!" - Audrey
Who are you making a message for?

"I'm making a 'J' for me." - Janie

"I'm making a sandwich [message] for Jane [...] with sparkle markers." - Janie, 3.10 years

"Last year, when it was my birthday, she [Bubby] came to school with me and mommy and daddy, but the baby boy was not in mommy's tummy.  When I had my poster." - Sylvie 
I remember that you brought your poster and Bubby.  I remember when Janie had her birthday she brought her mommy and daddy. Audrey, I think we did your birthday on Zoom, and you brought a video. 
We saw so many photos of Audrey traveling to so many different places. - Katie

She's a baby. She's zero. - Sarah

"At my dentist, he was a boy and he didn't know Moo Moo [Audrey's lovie]." - Audrey
​"At my dentist there was a tv in the ceiling of 'Daniel Tiger'." - Sylvie
"You have to go to the dentist cause they have to make sure there no cavities, which is a little hole in our tooth." - Sylvie 
"At the doctor when we were done and the dentist got us a new toothbrush." - Audrey
"I got a new toothbrush too!" - Sylvie 
"I did that once." - Janie
"Yeah, I was really brave." - Sylvie

Making a plan for Sylvie's birthday: 
Before we see Sylvie again, Sylvie is going to have a birthday. So, maybe I can FaceTime with you for a minute to tell you happy birthday.  Can we make a plan?

Can I guess now? 
"Yeah." - Sylvie 
Is your birthday January 6th?
