Today was Katie's second birthday. It is always a bittersweet birthday because around this point you lose your baby and gain a toddler. Katie celebrated the week by deciding she would sleep in a big bed. It has been the easiest transition from crib to bed of all our children. She even takes naps in her big bed without climbing out!!!
I always make a ducky cake for second birthdays. I have found that almost all two year olds love ducks and can actually say "Duck!" Katie did a great job blowing out her candle. She also did a great job cutting the cake. Yes, Katie is definitely two, and decided that SHE would cut the cake. Instead of dealing with a sobbing pile of child on the floor, we handed her the knife (butter!) and let her cut. Happy Birthday Sweet Kate. You are a bright joy in our life.
