Two years ago today, Miss Lily was born! I can't believe our sweet little baby is 2 years old already! She is the funniest, goofiest, sweetest, most adorable little kid! She just bops through her day shuffling from here to there leaving her Bear, Babies, and cup in her wake. She just goes with the flow and almost always has a smile on her face. She loves Ella like crazy, following her to the end of the earth and back. (I just got her a t-shirt that says, "Monkey See, Monkey Do, Monkey get in trouble too :-). ) I love the way she gets so excited when any of us are gone and come home, she calls out your name like she hasn't seen you in weeks and runs to you and gives you a big hug.
I told the girls this morning that it was Lily's Special Day! We tried to have 2 birthdays for Ella: her party and then her actual birthday. But it just ended up confusing her. So we're adopting a new birthday policy. If the birthday party doesn't fall on their actual birthday, then they get to have a special day on their actual birthday. I feel like we can't just pretend its like any other day. (At least I can't since I have very specific memories of her birth day!) So we don't say "birthday" at all, but rather "special day". And that seemed to work great today!
Ella understood it was Lily's Special Day today and Lily got to pick out a little extra something at Target today. We had Pilsbury Orange Cinnamon Rolls for breakfast and they got to go to the McDonald's Playplace for dinner. Tomorrow, the fun continues with a trip to Como Zoo with B-pa and Gramma Clare.
Lily's party is on Sunday, October 7th, so look for more pictures and fun then!
