The birthday festivities began yesterday when Mommy and Daddy took my brothers and me to the Adirondack Balloon Festival at Daddy's work. The balloons were so big...and SO colorful!
Then this morning, Grammie and Papa came over and I got to open presents! All of these!?! For me?!? (I think Mommy went a little over the top.)
I got silly bands, some new clothes, a super-duper computer to help me learn my letters and numbers, my own broom, mop, featherduster, and dustpan (because I love to help clean!), and a Dinosaur Train!
Yep - we are probably the only people on the street who still has and uses a VCR (which makes for great yard sale deals on kids' VHS tapes!)
Please tell me that there's something besides baby wipes in this box...
Yeah! Books! I do love to read. I've been getting better at identifying letters and words out in the "real world", too. I point out the "H" on the Hess Gas Station sign, I identify Target, McDonalds, Dunkin Donuts, and CVS from their street signs, and while we were in the grocery store last month, I read the word "TANG". Am I a scholar of Chinese history? Am I a Skidmore art historian in the making? No...I just like artificial orange drinks.
I liked this puzzle toy, too!
For lunch, I suggested that we go to Applebees. We had been there about a month ago, and I saw someone else celebrating their birthday there and figured it was the place to go!
After I was done feasting on chicken fingers and french fries, they came out and sang to me and brought me a birthday dessert...
Make a wish!
I am so proud to be two years old!!!
When we got back home, Grammie brought me upstairs to show me another present - my owl bed! Now that I've been sleeping in my Big Girl Bed, it was time to girly it up. I love owls (and can do an amazing owl impression!) and so this was perfect!
Thanks, Grammie! Time for my nap!
Who knew that the afternoon would be full of birthday celebration, too? After my nap, Mommy and Daddy brought me outside to show a couple more things. A slide and a picnic table!!!
Zoli tried to figure out what all of the excitement was about:
Mommy made a birthday cake and some cupcakes for me and let me eat one to test out my picnic table. YUMMY!
And finally, I got a LITTLE RED CAR!! I've wanted one of these for SO LONG (ok, for about 3 months, which is equivalent to one-eighth of my entire life)!!
That evening, my friends Ethan, Ella, Mia, and Berkeley came over and had some birthday cupcakes with me.
Mmmm...another cupcake!
What a wonderful day!
