Hug Twice

Alexa turned 2 today.  It’s funny, because she still seems like such a baby to me, but at the same time, she is becoming a little person who can ever-increasingly express her own thoughts and desires.

We got her a bunch of balls (300 to be exact) for her playyard turned ballpit.  Both the kids love to climb in there and cover themselves in balls, and the amount we had just wouldn’t cut it as far as covering them both.  So we decided a good birthday present was to provide the means to be buried in balls.  It seems like it was a good choice. 

Alexa is a dancer.  She loves music.  We went to a fall harvest festival today where there was a live band playing, and she clapped and yelled and danced and swayed and generally loved the whole music thing.  The kids wore their halloween costumes, and although Alexa would not wear the hood of her monkey at all, she did parade around in the rest of her costume.  And grabbed her brother’s dragon whiskers at every opportunity.

Two, so far, is a pretty good thing.
