Yeah! Natalie is seven! This morning I asked her how old she was (because she says A LOT "I'm six!"), and she said, "I'm seven!" Tom and I visited her classroom right after lunch to deliver cupcakes for a quick birthday party. The teacher said that morning she had tried to get Natalie to tell everyone that it was her birthday, but she clammed up a bit.A funny habit Natalie has is when she's doing math and the sum is six, she says, "I'm six!" This is a great opportunity for her to learn math facts for 7s.
Happy Birthday Natalie! We're so proud of you and pray for a very blessed year for you.
Love,
Mom and Dad
Natalie knows it's her birthday, but I think she's a little self-conscious. Her aide Dana is encouraging her to finish her work so the party can begin.
It was a little windy, but Dana held a shield while I lit the candle and Natalie blew it out without much prompting.
The teacher had a smart idea: eat the cupcakes outside!
She looked at that cupcake for a long time before she finally took a bite (maybe too soon after lunch). MMMmmm!

Happy Birthday Natalie
I have loved watching you grow up. Such a privilege to be part of your life from a far. You remain an inspiration for us.
Love Jacqui
PS I do read all your mom's blog posts on a google reader, but don't have as much time to post comments as I did in the past. But am following with much joy and interest!
