”Me, me! I want to sing for Hailey too,” Julian offered, raising his hand enthusiastically.
“Right then, Julian will present us with a song.” Rachel played host.
Julian sang a song called Love Like Fire.
When he was done, he looked up with sparking eyes. “Everyone in my class knows how to sing this. They know the dance too.”
Willow and Rachel exchanged bewildered glances. They had never heard this song before. Were they too outdated?
To think that kindergartners were up-to-date with the latest songs.
“That was great. Julian’s good at singing too.” Willow applauded after snapping out of her thoughts.
Rachel clapped as well.
Just then, Lara came out with some dishes and set them on the table. She still looked upset as she said, “Time for dinner.”
“Yeah, let’s eat. We’ll have cake after dinner,” Willow said.
Everyone sat down. It didn’t take long for them to finish the food.
Willow gave a thumbs up and praised, “Mom, your cooking is getting better and better. Dinner was great. It tastes better than the food served in restaurants.”
Lara rolled her eyes. “Stop trying to flatter me.”
Despite saying that, Lara couldn’t help but smile. She got up and cleared the plates.
After dinner, everyone gathered around to sing Hailey a song to celebrate. Since the song choices were too scattered, they decided to go with the birthday song.
They clapped as they sang together.
Hailey sat in front of the cake like a birthday girl as she listened with a sweet smile on her tiny face.
When they were done singing, Hailey blew at the candles. The first attempt failed.
At the second attempt, all four of the children blew together.
