Number Two is Two

My second child turned two-years-old today.  That means my first child is almost three.  Oh time, how quickly you travel.

We celebrated my daughter's birthday at a local farm that has lots of fun activities for children.  I'm sure there are farm-type things there like zucchini, collards or goats, but we were there for their other things like the log flume, the huge jumping pillow, the paint wall and the crooked house.  There was a hay fort (with tunnel) and you could do archery (which my three-year-old loved) and many other things we didn't get around to doing during the short duration that a toddler party can last without major meltdowns.  

It was fun though.  Everyone had a good time.  I had a great time talking with the other parents and their children.  We had some snacks and then for those who were still with us (the toddler attrition at that point was rather severe) we roasted marshmallows at their fire pit and had s'mores. 

The weather was outstanding.  Low 60's in early November with a cloudless sky.  Everyone had a great time.  My daughter liked her "Super Reese" cake that daddy made and she wore her matching shirt for the day, even though it was night-night shirt. 

The Big Boy Update:   Best friends.  My son has a best friend.  Or so he tells us.  He tells us that a particular child is his "best friend" and then he tells us a different child is his best friend a few days later.  It's great that he likes so many children enough to want them to be his good friends.  I've met the children he's talking about and they're cute and nice and they like him too.  I don't know that they really get what the phrase, "best friend" means yet though. 

The Tiny Girl Chronicles:  Two years old today.  We didn't tell her her birthday was today because she celebrated three days ago at school, two days ago with family and yesterday with her friends at her party.  Four birthday days for a two-year-old is a little much we thought.
