Today we celebrated Emily's second birthday at school. How can she already be two?? The preschool here does such a good job with birthdays. The parents answer a few questions from the school and they turn it into a birthday walk. They light a candle and put it in the middle of a circle and then the birthday girl/boy walks one lap for every year. So the first lap they talk about when and where they were born and other details of when they were a baby. The second lap is all about being one and their favorite toys, foods, etc. Emily didn't "walk" too well but she loved the attention nonetheless. Then we sang, ate cupcakes and looked at her picture board. The other children loved the photos, especially the one with Emily and the kangaroo.
Friday (her real birthday) is a public holiday for deepavali so Kyle has the day off too. Hope to do something fun as a family. Then Saturday we are having a splash party at our house. Emily loves nothing more than playing in the water. So we are setting up a baby pool, two water tables and a sprinkler. I invited her baby play group and two other friends. EVERYONE said yes so with mommies, daddies, and siblings it will be 30+ people. Yikes. Wish us luck!
