Happy Second Birthday

You always hear who fast children grow up and today I feel that is so true. Sarah Margaret turns two today, and the past two years have flown by so quickly!! She is such a joy and delight to her mommy & daddy!

We have had such a fun day already celebrating her birthday. She even calls herself the birthday girl. We sang "Happy Birthday" last night at pasta and she did a great job blowing out her two candles with a little help from Bon Papa. Bon Papa ordered a gooey chocolate cake with ice cream. Sarah loved it! Her stuffed fly puppet joined us last night at dinner. She just loves bugs and especially her fly. She even loves to say the word fly (and fast and farm).

This morning when Sarah woke up, she liked having happy birthday sung to her but didn't like the streamers we put on her door. She kept going "no, no, no" (when saying no she usually says it 3 times:-)). Sarah had her banana, bagel, and egg this morning and then a morning snack of a whole orange (she loves organge now), cereal bar, and a big bowl of oatmeal with a little shagbark syrup and cinnamon. She carried around her birthday balloon almost all morning. Nana came over while I volunteered with the 1st graders at the Oaks. She didn't have too much of her pasta for lunch since I think she was looking forward to going to Goose for ice cream after lunch. Nana, Sarah, and I met Bon Papa and Andy at Goose for some gelato. Sarah chose to have the cake batter gelato which she loved and she liked carrying around a shopping basket looking at all the produce. We were suppose to play with Graydon and Marcus today but Marcus has a bit of a cold so we'll plan on playing next week. More birthday fun tonight when we get to pick out a few toys at Mass Ave Toys for her birthday. Also, she will have her big birthday bash with family this weekend and we can't wait to see Gramma Sue and Uncle Stacy.
