TWO!

Hooray, the little one is two today! Thank you to our blogger friends for all the the birthday tribute posts. It's nice to know the vastness and infinite qualities of the internet are not lost on our little girl. Tell her Happy Birthday and she responds with a smile, "Happy Birthday!"

By 12 noon she had consumed one cupcake, a handful of french fries, ice cream sundae with whipped cream and cherry on top and lets not forget the jelly beans. The little one's world reached new heights with the first taste of candy. Sweet, sweet jelly beans. She consumed about 5 of them and responded with a, "mmmm...jellies. " It was not my intention to introduce candy today, but it had to happen sooner or later so why not the big bday. We were at an Easter egg hunt/petting zoo and when her and her buddy sat down to check out the contents of the eggs, the first one he opened was filled with jelly beans. Before I could stop them, he had handed her the savory treat to share in the delight. That's the way it goes.

So the day has been full of fun and smiles, as every parent would wish for their child. I have plans to take her to her first movie sometime soon. I'm pretty sure she'll freak out at the hugeness of the TV. If only they had a feature of The Little Einsteins. Perhaps Horton Hears a Hoo will be the first movie. It's sure to be an adventure but with enough popcorn, and jellybeans, I think she'll love it!

As a side note: I pressed the publish post button just as the joyful tune of "She'll Be Coming Around the Mountain" could be heard from the little one's room. She just woke up from her nap and started singing. Looks like she's ready for the celebrations to continue.
