Happy Birthday Sylvie and Elyse!

Hello to everybody!  We're so glad to see you!  
Sylvie is great at reminding us to sing the "Good morning song!"  Today, we had a lot of people to say hello to: Bobby (Sylvie's grandmother), Giacomo, Audrey and Tegan, Rainey Room B, and Saul!

"I don't know if you know this one, it's called Claris." - Sylvie, 4.0 years

"I love the mouse, and I have a lot of books about her. I thought Audrey might like it because it's about clothing." - Sylvie

It's called, Claris: The chicest mouse in Paris. - Katie

Our virtual friends brought their messages for Sylvie that we made earlier this week. 

"This is a house, and they threw things out of the house, and there's a picture of Sylvie." - Audrey, 3. 9 years

"I made a flower for Sylvie, and in the leaf, there is a picture of Sylvie." - Tegan, 7.4 years

"It's so colorful." - Bubby, Sylvie's Grandmother

"We're going to hang them in my room. I'm going to hang them on my wall" - Sylvie 
"Good, because message are supposed to go on walls.  I have messages." - Giacomo

Asking the hard questions
"By the way, when is the coronavirus going to end?" - Giacomo
I don't know if we have the answer to that. - Elyse 
"No, I'm asking mommy." - Giacomo 
As if I have the answer. - Carola [smiling]
​If you do, please let us all know! - Elyse 

Rainey Room B is planning an on-campus birthday celebration for Sylvie as well.  Sylvie asked if she could wear the cape that day!  I know that her Rainey Room A and B friends are excited to celebrate with her when the time comes!  Happy Birthday dear Sylvie!  You are so loved and cherished! 

Happy Birthday Elyse

"Our family dressed in pink, purple, and red." - Sylvie
We thought they were your favorite colors. - Katie 
"And I picked this dress." - Sylvie 
​"I made a caterpillar for you because you love a caterpillar." - Sylvie
"It's a celebration for you!" - Saul

"Tigers. I made those." - Giacomo
I'll have to make a special place on my wall just for my birthday messages. - Elyse 

Melanie had the great idea that we could read Head to Toe​ together!  Thanks for thinking of that, Melanie!

To everyone who sent me flowers, messages, and joined us on Zoom, thank you so much for celebrating with me.  I am so grateful for my entire St. John's family.  It is so special to me that I get to "do life" with you all.  I love each of you, and appreciate your continuous kindness, support, and love.
