Eliot's Travels

Miles sits and has a hard sitting still during the birthday ceremony. Melissa puts on Eliot's crown with 5 jewels and the birthday cape. Then she tells a story of a boy becoming 5 years old, going through each year. She and Eliot move to the center of the circle and send his wish up to heaven - with fire even! It's a touching ceremony, as Melissa gives Eliot a special private message. Some kids then go around the circle to receive a hug or message from their friends, though Eliot chose not to do that.
