Happy Birthday to Foster & a language sample

Foster celebrated his 4th birthday on Monday.
His day started out by going to school. I was there for a visit to take pictures of the kids & their classes, but I arrived in time to witness an elaborate birthday circle time... and have lots of kids ask me when the cake was coming. Mrs. Vicki, one of Foster's two teachers in his multi-age (3-5 yr old) class.
Home at lunchtime, Foster found the creative train cake Abu Sue created for him.
We sang, blew out candles...the kids played all afternoon at the house, and then we celebrated again in the evening by taking all the kids to "Dinos"...a very kid friendly restaurant in the super mega center with the biggest slide/play structure I've ever seen.
**************
On a side note, today I convinced Elliott and Foster to let me film them "reading" a picture story in Spanish. The story is "A boy, a dog and a frog" and is just a series of illustrations, so Foster and Elliott are telling the story as they see it. (Susana did not want to participate, although she is equally capable of this if she had been in the mood!)
