It was Emma’s birthday this week. She is two years old. I can hardly believe it! Sometimes I wish I could slow her down and keep her little. But she would never allow such a ludicrous thing. That girl is determined to grow. Oh well, I guess I’m just going to have to savor every minute so that no matter how fast it goes at least I will know I tasted it.
I think a new tradition has emerged with Emma’s birthday. I haven’t taken the tree down so the night before her birthday when Joshua and Sarah were helping me blow up balloons we decided to stuff the tree full of balloons. It was her birthday tree. We put her gifts under it and let her open them there while the older kids dumped more balloons over her head.
I think one of my favorite things about her birthday was the delight she had with singing “Happy Birthday.” We couldn’t sing it too much for her. Sarah and Camilla taught her how to blow out her candles on her cake. We had to do it twice.
