My baby girl is turning 2... *tear* Why do the cute baby years go by so fast? I'm not saying that my daughter isn't cute, but toddlers are pretty darn self-centered. I used to go to her room in the morning to be greeted with a smile and a g'mornin. Now it goes like this, Me: Good morning Leila! Her: Food. Me: Say good morning to your mommy! Her: Eat food. Breakfast. There is no doubt that's my child! Before her arrival I would not be able to function without food first thing. Ask her father about that one ;) Wine and dine me first, lol. Anyways my daughter Leila is growing and learning at alarming rates. I can't even keep up with all the things she knows. She says bless you after people sneeze. I can't even take credit for that! I miss being her favorite person though. She is so independent already. I guess that's how her little brother, Micah got here. A little early for that empty nest feeling? Just to reiterate, I'm weird. As stated in my last post, I have these crazy ideas of what a great mom is. I just want to try and find a balance between being a real woman and a real mother. Just because I want to bake cookies and such, doesn't mean that I want to give up my life and my career goals until they're 18. I want that happy medium that keeps me well so I am better able to care for them. Who wants a lonely, depressed, unfulfilled supermom? I'm assuming no one does.
Back to the Birdday (Leila's pronunciation, not mine) Girl. So I have this grand idea for her birthday, that I had been thinking about since I gave birth to a baby girl. We are having a dress up tea party! Leila is so excited. She helped my mother pick out some of the supplies, singing 'happy birthday to you' every time she saw a candle or a picture of a cake, or anything shiny. We found a cupcake dress with an apron... so adorable. I did a makeshift photo shoot with a porcelain tea set I bought when I was pregnant with her in 2008. Told you I've been planning this for a while!Well those picture were added to the invitations, which are darling, if I do say so myself. Pictures will follow ;)
