Charlie turned two yesterday at 2:02pm. She had a great day at school (more on that later) and I made her a yummy dinner that she picked herself: hot dogs, almond butter and jelly sandwiches, watermelon and lentil soup. Then to top it all off she ate an entire chocolate cupcake, played in her sandbox and then ran around the neighborhood identifying everything she saw. It went something like this:
(run run run) “I see a garage. A pink garage I think. (run run run) There’s a truck. Look, a car. Look what I found! (run run run) Going for a walk. We’re walking. Oh I see a tree. There’s a rock!”
For blocks she did this. Then she slept for eleven hours straight without waking up once.
Where’d our baby go?
