Happy Birthday, London

Today, November 6, 2012 is a special day at Baan Dek. It’s London’s 5th birthday! It’s so hard to believe that she’s turning five. She’s been with us since the start: eager and excited and happy to always go to school. She often greets the children in the morning and chases after them in the afternoon.

Throughout the day, she can be found taking a nap in the office, next to her bones and bowl of water and dreams. Of course, it’s Election Day in the United States, but around Baan Dek, it’s also London’s Birthday! Here’s a picture of her attempting to blow out a candle, a lovely squeeky toy gift from one of our students. (She ended up eating the gift.)
