What an imagination...

Chandler came home from school last Wednesday very excited and said that it was his "school" birthday on Monday (today).  His real birthday is the 21st, so I was a bit confused, but figured his teacher must want to spread it out since  his falls over Christmas break.  Without a chance to contact his teacher since it was Thanksgiving break, I bought treats and sent them with him today with strict instructions to bring the treats back if it wasn't his "school" birthday.  His teacher just called me and wanted to double check when his birthday was since he thought it was today and had already passed out the treats out and had everyone sing Happy Birthday to him.  He even shared his big plans to play laser tag today with the class.  I don't know where he gets it, but this kid has imagination to spare!

So the teacher didn't know anything about it?? That's funny. Maybe someone else had a birthday and he was feeling a little left out.

I think someone must have mentioned that it was his birthday "MONTH" starting today and he got confused. Oh well, what classmate doesn't like a treat for no reason!

That's funny! Maybe we can learn something from this. Like, I think tomorrow will by my birthday! Bring on the presents and special attention! :)

Can you just picture him standing there with a smile while they all sing? You will be so glad you wrote these adventures down :-)

They say a vivid imagination is a sign of a gifted child.... take heart. I'm sure you can't help but giggle inside.

Now you don't have to do anything on his actual birthday!! You can just say, "remember, you already had it!"
