Okay. So now I have a two year old. My toddler turned two yesterday. It was a fun day. Balloons, birthday cake, friends and family, and, of course, presents. She was in heaven. Her sweet little birthday cake was perfect for the ladybug decor. It was a cute little pink lady bug nestled gently on the grass. Sometimes a homemade cake is just the best. It is always fun to watch naked cake layers spring to life with the application of perfectly chosen colors.
She was dressed in a cute little lime green outfit with pink ladybugs. It was perfect for the day. And, of course, it had her favorite thing on the front so she could see it. "My bow". She always points out if her outfit has a bow on it.
She blew out her candle like a professional. She grinned like like there was nothing more important while we sang "Happy Birthday" to her. With her whistle like blow, the flame on the candle went out perfectly. She clapped like she had just accomplished climbing a mountain. It was a precious moment.
We had a nice time visiting with friends and family. A few good snacks, some good cake and lots of running and playing were enjoyed by all. As our guests were leaving, we all ventured outside. Pink and lime green balloons were accidentally and purposely let go into the air. It was very breezy out. We watched the balloons fly toward the passing clouds until we could not see them any more. With the big wind gusts that came by, this did not take very long. We waved "bye-bye" to the balloons to stave off any crying. The kids seemed to enjoy watching them float away, so there weren't any tears. I wonder sometimes, just how far do the balloons go?
It is so fun to watch your little children grow up. They start to become their own little person with their own little personality. Today she is two. Tomorrow she will be graduating high school. The years will go by so fast. I just hope that we can treasure each moment as she grows.
Daddy enjoyed the day. He was snapping pictures and visiting. He even spent a little time talking to the neighbor after everyone left. I can't help myself. I can be a little selfish sometimes, but I was glad when he came back inside. I love it when he walks back in the door.
