It is considered bad luck to celebrate your birthday early, or even for someone to wish you a happy birthday before your actual birthday date.
Rebecca's birthday was Sunday, so today would be the day to celebrate at Kindergarten. Just last week, the director of the school had sent home a "healthier Kindergarten" note to parents asking that birthday boys and girls bring in a nutritous treat of fresh fruit and pretzels instead of cake and that we forgo goody bags which are normally laden with candy. No complaints from me.
Rebecca stepped through the door to her classroom and was immediately greeted with this crown and a traditional birthday song.
Here are some other pictures I've taken recently at the preschool. It had rained earlier in the day and the kids all had on their rain gear. A favorite activity is to swish brushes through the puddles.
Becca with Keanu, a fellow hedgehog, who is half-American. Keanu always speaks to me in German, though.
Rebecca in her rain gear. It makes so much sense. The rain boots and pants allow the kids to enjoy the outside, even if it's wet, and preserve their clothes. They also wear the rain pants when it's very cold and their little legs are kept toasty warm.
Rebecca and Jonna leaving school on their pedal-less bikes. Both girls are very comfortable on their bikes now and can go pretty fast. The problem is that Becca's bike doesn't have brakes of any kind. She drags the toes of her shoes on the ground to slow down. I expect to be buying new sneakers soon. Jonna's bike has a hand brake, but her hand is still too little to use it. 
Coasting down the incline on our street, Haingraben, hoping no car is coming from the other direction.
