George's [faux] 5th Birthday



Beginning in May, George's K4 teacher began celebrating summer birthdays, a gesture that is both inclusive and generous, given how busy the end of the year can be.

When George's turn arrived, he did not want to celebrate at all. George has been consistent about not wanting any attention drawn to him or to be made the center of attention in any way. After much cajoling by the whole family, he relented and requested his favorite doughnuts and Capri Sun. Skip and I surprised him at school.

As you may can gather from the end of the video, Skip was very enthusiastic and wrestled with all of George's classmates after they ate their doughnuts. We filled them with sugar, and then Skip got them riled up. William George had a great time, and our work was done.

Happy [faux] fifth birthday, George!
