HAPPY SECOND BIRTHDAY!!!

You just LOVE it when we sing Happy Birthday to you!  We started singing it to you about three weeks before your birthday and you started to join in - pursing your lips, "...tooo-yooooouuu.  Happy buffda toooooo... yoou!"  And, as soon as we get to the HIP HIP HOORAY you throw your arms up in the air and shout HOORAYY!!!! 
Every day, for a couple of weeks, we spoke about your 'Par-tee!' 
"What are you going to have for your party Em?  Balloons! YAY!  Fweeties, chips, joos - YAY! bistits, tate, ice teem, YAY!"
 
Your birthday party was lovely.  It rained on Saturday (the day of your birthday) but was bright and sunny on Sunday when we had the party.  Mom chose a barn-yard party theme so the paper cups, serviettes and cake decorations on your number two cake she baked were farm animals.  She bought you a gorgeous new outfit - denim dungarees and a checked blouse.  There were coloured helium balloons with long coloured ribbons hanging from the ceiling. Patty bought you a large plastic table and four bright chairs and these were in the middle of the lounge with colouring in books, crayons and toys on the table. 
In the morning Mark brought you here so that he could make sandwiches while Mom finished off her beautiful cup cakes at home.  Patty brought mini-hot dogs and a savoury platter, Rita brought strawberries and cream.  Mom made each child a party packet with goodies inside. 
At 1:30pm your first guests arrived - with a little girl who is just a few months older than you.  You were very excited. And then Angela and Clint arrived with Karla, and Lauren came with Kayla and then your Day Care lady came with her two children (Torben and Enya) and then more babies and children arrived - and about 40 adults!!  What a party! You were a perfect little princess birthday girl! Happy, excited, affectionate, cute.  Just lovely!


 
On Monday when Mom brought you to visit us you were very excited.  As soon as you saw me you said, "Part-eee Ganny, part-ee!"  You were so disappointed to see that the lounge was back to its boring self - no balloons on the ceiling, no children, no decorations.  I've decided that next year, if you have your party here, I'm going to keep the balloons, the table with toys a goodie bag and the birthday decorations for one more day.
