We started Emmett's birthday celebrations today. Since he doesn't go to preschool on Mondays (his actual birthday), they celebrated his birthday today. Last year (when Annika was there), the school had a strict policy that the only things that could be brought in for birthdays were either fruit/veggies, which could be eaten in class, or store-bought packaged snacks (like nut-free granola bars or Rice Krispie treats) to take home - no homemade stuff allowed. This year they've relaxed the rule a little, and you can now bring in homemade stuff for the kids to take home (and the parents can decide if they let their kids have it or not). I decided to make Lego-shaped chocolates (getting another use from the Lego mold I bought for Emmett's birthday last year!), since I figured they would be easier to take home than a cupcake, and they should be safe for everyone to eat (I guess unless they're allergic to chocolate). Emmett was very excited to hand out the treats to his classmates, and I heard several parents oohing and aahing over them in the hallway, which made me feel good too. ;)

In the afternoon we baked cupcakes, which we'll bring to our small group supper on Sunday. Emmett didn't quite get the fact that the cupcakes were for another day, though - after they were baked, he said "let's eat cupcakes now!" 'Cuz why would you make cupcakes and then NOT eat them immediately, right?!?
