None of my kids have had birthdays in the summer until Molly--June 22, 2005. It really does stink as a kid having a summer birthday. Not being able to celebrate it at school with the other kids! Not "feeling special" because your teacher can't put a nice "birthday cake hat" on your head that tells the entire school, "hey, it's my birthday today." Not being able to bring in treats. I should have been more understanding to those summer birthday kids that I grew up with. Now I completely understand.
Molly's teacher is BRILLIANT and allowed Molly to celebrate her birthday by having a half birthday at school. We brought treats and little goodie bags for her class mates. She LOVED having a half birthday. I hope all her teachers will let us do this.

I'm so glad her teacher let her do a half birthday. I was one of those June birthdays, and even though we didn't do all the stuff mothers do now, birthdays were still mentioned over the loud speaker and I felt left out. It looks like she had a great half birthday celebration. Happy Half birthday MOlly.
Happy Half b-day Molly. I can't believe our little babies are going to be 4 this summer. I remember when we were both pregnant! Time flies!
