We Have a Two Year Old!

Posted in family

Today is Betsie's second birthday!  Or the joke in our house...at least we think it is.  Since Betsie was found as an abandoned baby, the doctor had to estimate her birthday.  But at that age, it has to be pretty close.  She was found August 9th and estimated to be 2 days old...so we're going with it!  Last night we had a pitiful looking homemade birthday cake and sang to her.  I wish we had videotaped her dancing and laughing while we sang Happy Birthday.  My still pictures didn't capture how cool she thought it was.  It took her forever to blow out her big #2 candle because we have convinced her that fire is something to stay away from.  Try blowing out a candle from three feet back sometime!  Really, the cake and gifts have all been done, so today will be a rather normal day.  (You can do that when they're two!)  But I will be thinking all day how blessed we are to be Betsie's parents.

 

Happy birthday Little One!




Come on, Betsie.  You can do it!
