100

There is a big celebration on the 100th day of school.

The students make projects using 100 of something. Simon made an alien with 100 eyes and 100 pieces of colorful puffy hair.

It was pretty great.

Birthday Song

Yup. He's really 6 now. Last night as Simon got into the bath he said, "Wow. This is my first bath as a 6 year old!"

Party Magician

The best part of this video is the look on Simon's face at the end.

(It is important to know that right before we started taping the magician put one red clown nose in to Simon's hand.)

A Quick Birthday Blog

A few quick photos of the big birthday bash. More, including video, to follow.

The room pre-chaos. (Thanks to Grandma Jean for her help setting up!)

Simon and Brian the magician.

(Brian was AMAZINGLY GOOD! Anyone in need of a magician- I can reccomend him whole heartedly!)

A group shot of sorts.

Checking out the goody bags.

It was a wonderful party.

Simon was an amazing boy (full of positive energy).

All the guests were fun and happy (and well behaved!)

All the grown-ups also were fun and happy.

The magician wowed everybody.

The cake was yummy.

The dancing was fun.

The room looked beautiful.

We are very tired.

What more could you want?

Incentives

Simon really likes incentives.  Tonight, in an effort to get him to eat the healthy food at dinner, I told him that after every bite he took I would give him a math problem to do.  It worked.
