Max chose a family day in Atlanta instead of a birthday party with friends. We rode MARTA (the public transit train) and visited the Georgia Aquarium.
Daddy, Max, and some penguins!

I picked Max up from school a little early on his birthday and we went out for a celebratory milkshake and trip to the pet store to check out the animals!
At the end of the month, another mom and I planned a giant play date of "alumni" from the Blue Room at school! All but one friend were able to make it (and a few siblings joined in the fun, too!). Many of these kids have scattered to various elementary schools for kindergarten and it was a blast for kids and parents alike to spend an evening together at the park. Their teachers, Mrs. Rawla and Mrs. Rubbina, joined the fun, too! The kids' reactions to seeing each other and their teachers was priceless.
