We Now Have a Two-Year-Old

Some Party Shots

Notice the jaunty angle of the party hat.

Last Thursday it became official. Emma turned two, and we had a party (since we missed out on her first birthday.) We may even have another one in a couple of weeks. We went to Grandma and Grandpa Hiatt's exclusive party room, and had cake and Caffiene-free Diet Coke floats. Mmmmmmm, floats. The cake was delicious, and made by Emma's mommy.

Many wonderful gifts were presented. I am hopeful the batteries will die soon. Have children's toys always been so noisy? I think the noisiest toy I ever had was a cap pistol, with the caps that came on a tape roll. They weren't that noisy, because only two out of every five lined up good enough to fire. I kinda liked the smell though. But I digress. Emma sure loves playing with her new toys.

With the weather warming a bit, Denny and Emma have been getting out a little each day. It helps to break up the day, and get them into the sun and pollen. One of our earlier posts showed Emma in a swing at the park. I think that is still her favorite activity. She will swing as long as somebody will push her. She likes the feel of the wind through her hair and 16 teeth. Can't blame her. Denny planned a trip to a local fire house with about 15 kids last week. They took a picture in front of the fire truck. I would post that too, but Emma would have nothing to do with the big red truck that made all of that racket. Nice picture, no Emma.

It's almost 10:00 PM, and she is asleep after a busy day. She is sleeping well in her own room, thanks to her mother, who has trained her well. If she wakes up at all, it is only for a short while, until she is asleep again in her own bed. I wish I did that good. Time to turn in. Thanks for tuning in!
