Birthday parties are not over unless its celebrated in my school as well.
At my school, birthday parties are called "Celebration of Life".
I was asked to choose two pictures from each year of my life and take Amma-Baba's help to write a short life story about me. The teacher read out my story to the class while I showed my pictures from each year. Later all the kids sang for me while I made a wish and blew a candle. I am glad the school does not allow cake or any sweeta which I don't like to eat anyhow. Instead I got to chose a favorite game for the whole class to play indoors and then we all got extra time on the playground.
This time I wanted to write about my two favorite events I await each year - Birthday and Halloween and wanted to show pictures of me, Amma, and Baba with my birthday cakes from each year and Halloween costumes I wore. Amma-Baba helped write the story which I read multiple times to make sure no one laughs at anything I did in the past.
Check out this video Amma took of the party in school when my story was read while I showed the pictures....
Incase the audio in the video was not clear, here's what we said in my life story....

Child: Aadvik Birthday Date: April 1,
2011
Age: 6 years Celebration Date: Monday, April
3, 2017
Aadvik was born on April
1, 2011 in Hackensack, New Jersey, United States of America,
in the continent of North America.
Aadvik loves to play
with Lego and his favorite thing to do nowadays is to play with his Lego Batman
and spend the time he gets after school to passionately design/re-design the Bat
Cave he has built with Lego. He also loves to listen to music and dance to Lego
Batman movie songs and songs by Bruno Mars.
Each year Aadvik picks
themes for two events - his birthday and Halloween. He loves to have a theme
for his birthday and dress up for Halloween – both of these always match his
latest interests and/or shows he gets to watch on weekends and vacation days.
From the time he was 6
months old Aadvik dressed up as his favorite characters. His first year, he
welcomed the cooler weather in fall with a dino (or is it a dragon) suit that
he loved. That Halloween, Aadvik was Tigger – and he can still sing the Tigger
song that he used to jiggle to at 6 months while he was sitting up and crawling
by himself.
By 10 months Aadvik
was up on his feet running and he hasn’t really stopped since. This is when he
started to identify characters from stories and books. At his first birthday his
favorite Dr. Seuss inspired a book shaped cake. That Halloween he actually took
a break from Dr. Seuss and his parents made him dress up as an Indian folk
dancer from one of their favorite folk tales.
At two, Aadvik added
watching TV shows to reading books. He loved Thomas the train and Lightning
McQueen and developed clear speech – which his doctor actually said was like that
of a 5 yr. old. He voiced his decision to be an engine driver not only for
Birthday and Halloween but also as a grown up.
This passion for
trains continued through his third birthday. You could ask about any kind of
train or engine parts and Aadvik would have an answer. But a visit to Disney
World same year inspired him to become Goofy and dress up as one for Halloween
that year.
Year four, Aadvik had
a fascination for airports and airplanes with all the extensive travel he had
done with his parents and therefore wanted to have an aviation themed birthday
at the aviation museum. However by the time it was Halloween, nature and
wildlife got to him and he was obsessed with being a naturalist like Martin –
the lead of his favorite TV show, Wild Kratts.
Wild Kratts continued
to interest him long enough to have a nature themed fifth birthday – with a
favorite Tortuga shaped cake. By that Halloween,
he had learned to bike without training wheels and wanted to blast into space
like Buzz Lightyear, Space Ranger.
Now at age 6, Aadvik
can read level 1 books himself and can also read other books with a little bit
of help. He likes to write stories – mainly about his favorite movie, Lego
Batman. And his birthday theme is also Lego Batman! He’s planning to dress up
as Batman for Halloween – and decided to wear a part of his costume to school
today.
