Happy Birthday, Little Frass

 

Hey!! Don't take my cake away!!

Little Claire, you are finally two!! Time just continues to fly. You are becoming a little girl, right in front of my eyes. You're not a baby anymore. But that's okay, because I can have conversations with you now :) You give hugs and kisses now and you count as you walk down the steps. Most of the time, you like to share with your big sister, and other times you tell me, "Nora stole!!" Your favorite things are baby dolls, juice, dresses and Gumby. You have a big temper and aren't afraid of saying, NO! Sometimes you like to shove. You are just now getting into looking at books and like the Very Hungry Caterpillar and Monkeys Jumping on the Bed. You love going to the beach and looking for rocks in the park and you love picking flowers as well. You are a bit of a picky eater but never pass up cake!! Most importantly, you have my heart, now and always!! Happy Birthday <3

Sweet Treats

Two little cuties have just turned two. Two sweet treats are in order :)
