Even before her 2nd birthday, Hailey was well aware of what a birthday cake is. She owns a book called “Blankie“, which she can almost recite by heart and one page in that book lists the following things:
“I love kitty.”
“I love bear.”
“I LOVE birthday cake.”
Well, she loves birthday cake. It’s obvious from the pictures shown below. There was no crying when we sang:
She blew out her candles:
She cheered for herself:
She didn’t bother with a fork, which wasn’t much different than last year’s birthday:
and I think she enjoyed the cake this year as much as she did last year, only she was a little less “messy” this year:
Oh, one more thing…I thought this was quite lovely. A ladybug actually joined us on at the table while we were singing to Hailey. Stranger things have happened. =)
That is so cute! I can’t believe how much older she looks in one year! We love birthday cake in Staten Island, too. Some of us love it a little too much! Natalie
Can you believe the Lady Bug showed up for the birthday !!! I’m sure it was in honor of “Lady Bug Picnic”.
