It's True! You're Two!

Well Dela, after a month of birthday celebrations, your day finally came.  We may have to switch up the way we celebrate because you may have had one of the laziest celebrations ever. After celebrating Lilly's birthday on the 9th, and then your combined party at zoo, we were just tired.  We woke up and had you open your gifts, then Gigi and Pawpaw came over to give you your present and we all went to eat lunch.  The end.

As far as the past year goes, you have grown in spirit but not much in size.  You are still quite the nugget and people are surprised that you are two.  They also talk about all of your hair, your eyes and your voice.  You have the sweetest voice but that may be where it ends.  Little girl you are mean!  You hit, bite, kick for No.Reason.At.All.  I know you are just fighting for your place in this family but lay off and be sweet!

Bidah!  We have no idea what you are saying when you yell this but you are always happy when you say it. So now our family chant when we are having a good time, "Bidah"! (Bee-Dah)

You love balls, babies, bubbles and bath time.  Any of those can put you in a good mood.

You finally have all of your teeth except the two year molars.

You still have the tiniest feet.

You still love your paci and have no intention of giving it up.

You are still very much a momma's girl.

I have enjoyed watching you grow and learn.  I missed so much of this time with your sister because I worked.  You are challenging but it is so fun to hang out with you and experience everything with you.

And next year I promise we will do better on your actual day :)

Four Score and (well just four years ago)

Lillybug, you turned four today.  Is seems like you have been talking about how when you get bigger you are going to ____________.  And today you turned "bigger" as you like to say.

I broke down and bought you light up shoes.  I loathe them. The only reason that I bought them, other than the fact that you wanted them soo bad, is that they do not have a cartoon character on them.  Mark my words girlfriend, you will never wear those hideous dora shoes.  Tonight in the car ride home it was getting dark outside and you kept making them flash.  Your dad and I kept thinking we were getting pulled over!

You also scored a glove, ball and bat.  We are determined to get you to college playing some sort of sport so next up is teeball.  Yes, I know they do not have teeball in college!

We took you to chuck-e-cheese tonight where you earned 438 tickets.  You scored the 38 and your dad and I scored the remaining 400 playing friendly wagers in skeeball.

I also have been telling you that four year olds do not suck their thumbs at night.  You have been completely on board with this until bedtime when you promptly told me that you did not want to be four years old anymore.  I finally had to tell you that I had no idea what you do when I turn the lights out to get you to go to sleep.

Little girl, you are more than we could ever ask for.  You tell us you love us without being prompted, you make us laugh with your silly jokes and witty mouth and you are the most outgoing, social little person always making others feel included.  We love you so much and can't wait to see what this year brings us with you!
