Santa!

Kai’s Birthday Celebration at School
Yesterday, we were invited to Kai’s class to share in his birthday celebration.
To start, we joined the kids and teachers in a circle on the floor. For each year of Kai’s life, we shared a photo and some stories, then Kai carried a globe and walked around the sun, a candle was lit, and the class sang to him, each time in a different language (Chinese, Japanese, English).
After four trips around the sun, he got to blow his candles out. Then, each child and teacher took a small bead, made a wish for Kai’s coming year, and hugged him and wished him happy birthday. We then gathered all the beads in a small bag and brought them home. Quite a memorable experience.
