Happy birthday Gracie! You are two years old today! Daddy said to me, "Can you believe our nut is two already? It was just yesterday that she was born!" But even moreso this year than last, I can't believe there was ever a time when I didn't know you.
We had a wonderful day! You woke up to pink balloons all over the kitchen table, presents, and a platter full of PINK cupcakes (to go with your favorite new book, Pinkalicious). We had cupcakes for breakfast (and french toast too) and then headed out for the zoo. You had a great time there looking at all of the animals, pushing the stroller yourself, and playing in the water in front of the otter habitat. We had Happy Meals for lunch and you gobbled up chicken nuggets and fries. After that, we went swimming with grandpa. At one point, you were on the steps in the pool and you pushed yourself up onto your arms so your legs were floating out behind you and you yelled, "I'm flying!" That cracked me right up! When we got back into the house and got dressed, it started to rain and I just couldn't resist--I took you back outside to dance in the rain. We spun in circles, ran around, danced, and tried to catch raindrops on our tongues and just when we were really getting crazy, the sun came out! So I pushed you around on your new tricycle while Daddy hit some golf balls. We went back in and you played with your new kitchen set for a while, "cooking" onions, tomatoes, and cauliflower with your oven mit on. We had pizza with grandma and grandpa (and a little broccoli just to keep it a little bit healthy!), sang happy birthday with candles in your cupcake, and headed out to Sprinkles to end the day with--what else?--ice cream! You were a busy little two-year-old today and I hope that it's just a sampling of the fun you will have every day of your terrific two's!
Happy birthday, my sweet little girl. You amaze me more and more every day. I promise to work really hard this year to make sure that you are amazed by your parents and the world too!
