HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

Ok - a few days late. You can blame it all on Hadley. :-)

You're TWO! Oh my gosh. I love it. You are so funny, and silly, and naughty, and smart and all those amazing things 2 years old's possess.

We had your birthday party this weekend. The weather was gorgeous and we spent the entire day outside. Ellary (ok - Todd) let us borrow their jumpy castle so for the entire afternoon you, Hads, Ellary, Keira, Paige and BODHI jumped and jumped and jumped. It was so fun.

So Bodhi. Me thinks you love him. For real. You say his name in such a way that you almost blush, and you constantly try to get him to hug or kiss you. This - from the girl who has all the little 2 year old boys at school chasing her - is chasing the 16 month old boy. Good choice though. He's so adorable.

Nana and Papa arrive tomorrow. I don't think Papa is going to know what to do with you! He hasn't seen you since last summer. To say you've changed is at the very least an understatement. It will be a great visit and I know you're going to love every minute of it.

I can't wait for what this next year brings you. Every day you and Hadley become better friends. Every day your communication grows exponentially. Every day I love you more.

Potty Time!

You've been a bit reluctant to really give this whole potty training thing a go. We haven't pushed it, because we wanted you to get into the Tod 2 room at school for consistency. You moved up last week, but so far you've expressed no interest there.... However - the other night, on a whim, you decided to sit on the red Baby Bjorn potty. Hadley thought she'd show you how to use it before bath, and you thought it looked like fun. So you took off your diaper, sat down, and after a minute or so you said "all done!", stood up and there it was! You peed. We were so excited!

But you haven't wanted to sit on it again. One thing at a time. :-)
