2 yrs today

It is 11:51 PM. Two years ago today I was waiting for the epidural to wear off so I could take a shower and get in my room. Then they would bring me back my perfect baby girl who was all of two hours old.

Flash forward to the present and that same little girl is asleep snuggled up to her Daddy. Tomorrow we are having a McDonald's birthday party because this Mom thinks it is great that I can pay $80 bucks for someone else to do all the work. Happy Birthday precious girl!

Hi! I like you.

My son is now four years old. I have noticed over the last few months that anytime I introduce him to some one new he tells them, "Hi! I like you!" Remember the age when everyone was your friends simply because you had no reason to doubt them? I miss that innocence of childhood. I have to admit that I am still way over friendly. J complains that I will talk to any one for hours about nothing. It is a gift my Mother taught me.

My daughter, who will be two on Friday, is not so open to strangers. She likes her space free of extra bodies. Mostly so she has more room to dance. She is a rump shaker. We are trying to break her of her Lady Gaga addiction. She has an obsession with her. I see many recitals in my future. I danced when I was a teenager. Not well but I managed to keep up. My tiny dancer has more talent at 2 than I did at 14. It is a hard thing to admit but I will survive.
