Siddharth’s birthday falls on May 11, every year. Since April and May is vacation time for schools in India, he never gets to celebrate it with his school friends. So, we decided to prepone the celebrations this year after speaking to his class teacher. So, yesterday he dressed up in new clothes, took eclairs to distribute among friends. He was all brimming with happiness when he returned from school yesterday. He said he had a great time with all the kids treating him extra special. Everyone sang for him in the school assembly and he admitted that he felt very shy :). He also got to go the never visited higher classes and the Laboratories otherwise out of bounds for first graders. He went to distribute chocolates to the teachers.
I guess the day despite not being his birthday was very special for him. I am glad ! He has already said that he would again celebrate his birthday next year on the same day !
