Camdyn knows she is 5 and 1/2. This is because her teacher LOVES birthdays and loves celebrating with the children in her class. Because Camdyn's August birthday fell two weeks before school started, she "qualified" to celebrate her 1/2 birthday in February. Camdyn was absolutely delighted! She could not wait for her big day to begin... Here she is in Daddy's car waiting to go to school before Daddy was even ready to leave. 
Camdyn's teacher gave her a special crown, sticker and sweatshirt to wear for the "big" day. (Her teacher had a matching sweatshirt and shoes decorated with balloons.) There were many highlights to the day: being the line leader, the special cupcake her teacher brought for her, blowing out the candle on her cupcake, and having a special lunch we brought in for her.
Camdyn chose to have donuts as her special treat with her classmates. Donuts are a big thing here as Krispy Kreme had their corporate headquarters here until just a few months ago. Camdyn was doubly excited that the donuts were heart shaped (her favorite shape) and had pink, white and red sprinkles (her favorite colors) on them. How perfect that her 1/2 birthday falls around Valentine's Day! (Just a note... Krispy Kreme does not open until 6 a.m. Whatever happened to 24 hour donuts? )
The biggest hurdle we faced on this special day was convincing Camdyn that she would not be celebrating outside of school as well. She was convinced she should have presents, cake and a party at home too. Once we got through that Camdyn had a wonderfully special day thanks to her teacher!
