This year Noomi’s birthday fell on a Saturday, what luck! We tried to teach Noomi to respond, when prompted, that she was two but she didn’t really grasp the concept. Instead she latched onto the word- two- and walked around saying – two, two. Or, if we began counting (in the menacing parent way) – One… she would jump in shouting TWO! So there you go.
We had a very good turnout for her party and were even fortunate enough to have her godparents and cousin up from North Carolina. The weather cooperated so we weren’t trapped inside, and the temperature hung in the high 70s, low 80s. There were lots of little kids for her to play with and also quite a few babies, though she wasn’t as interested in them, which was funny since she’s all about her baby dolls right now.
For her birthday “cake” we did a large slice of watermelon with blueberries, as Noomi just isn’t a fan of sweets and she loved it. Unfortunately, we were outside singing happy birthday so the wind kept blowing out her candles. She didn’t seem to mind and we all clapped at the end of the song, so she thought she blew them out.
When it was time to open presents, Ajax was a little over excited and ended up opening most of her gifts. Noomi didn’t seem to mind and sat perched in her little chair watching the excitement. She received some wonderful gifts, thank you very much friends and family! Since the party we’ve had multiple tea parties and many baby dolls have received bubble baths.
I’ll add more pictures tomorrow as my computer is being difficult 🙂
