Mark's Birthday- part one....

Feel sorry for Mark's teacher, I do. For no less than six weeks all she has heard about was his birthday and his mom would be bringing cupcakes to school. You would think it was going to be a national holiday.

When Mark and I first approached the idea of his birthday and cupcakes, he wanted the names of Thomas trains on the cupcakes. Well to a class of kindergartners, I figured cupcakes with names such as Thomas, Gordon, Mavis, Percy, on the cupcake, might be a bit confusing and I could see more than one child demanding that the cupcake have their name, and not the name of a train.....

So we settled on cupcake name tags with the name of each kid, with Thomas stickers for decoration. Mark of course had to have quite the conversation with his teacher instructing her to email me the names of the kids, saying "You had better email my mom the class list." and "Did you email my mom the class list?" (Again feel sorry for his teacher..., although she did say that Mark is the only kid in her class that she could have a discussion about email with and who understand the concept of email....)

Here is the cupcake for one of his teachers.

Katie had to join us for the school party. She was the only girl, in Mark's class room full of boys.

Mark, using his best manners, decided to suck off the frosting, rather than eating his cupcake in a more conventional manner. Good news, many of the boys in his class engaged in similar conduct.

That is funny, I can just see Mark harassing his teacher! Katie looks quite fascinated by his class, did she just love being there?!
