Not-so-Terrible Two
My baby is two today.
In her pigtails and blue flowered sundress, Clara opened a few gifts, ate a purple-frosted cupcake (okay, 3 of them), shared her new toys with a couple of baby friends, and proudly told her new age. “I’m Two!”
But my favorite moment was seeing her face when we sang “Happy Birthday.”
Any of you who are a “youngest child” can understand how infrequently you get to be the absolute center of attention, with an older sibling always stealing at least some of your spotlight.
As we sang, her little eyes scanned the group around the table, and the corners of her mouth curled up in a shy, incredulous smile. This moment was all about her.
Happy Birthday, sweetie!

Trisha,
Congrat’s on Clara’s birthday. I have two kids myself. They grow up so fast.
Say hey to Ian for me. I marched in the Cavies Drumline with him back in ‘90.

Thanks, Brad! I’ll make sure Ian sees this. Cavaliers connections seem to be everywhere!

Glad to see that things seem to be settling into place for you. Loved the blog entry about your house projects. I think we all have them, but like you said, it’s a matter of finding the time and money to get them accomplished.
