Miss Anika turned 2 on Sunday. I can't believe I'm admitting this - We had a Dora themed party. I was kind of hoping that by the time I had kids old enough to care, that Dora would be a fad of the past. But Anika is in love. She got a Dora blanket, a Dora t-shirt, and Dora's talking backpack full of toys for her birthday. Daddy made her a Dora carrot cake.For the past month Keira has been telling me that Anika's birthday is in March (because she can't say February) and she's going to be 2. Traver's birthday is in March and he's going to be 1. I already had my birthday and I'm 3. We've gone through the birthdays over and over. It was cute to here Keira getting Anika excited about it. "You're going to be TWO Anika. It's your birthday party."
I don't think Anika really "got it" until we brought out the cake and started singing Happy Birthday. At the part that says "Happy Birthday dear Anika...." She looked up and squealed and I think that's when it "clicked" for her.
I'm happy that she's two and looking forward to the kids being a little more independant and being able to take them out and do fun things without feeling like I'm going crazy.
I love that little monster!
When I put the kids to bed, Keira says to me "Mommy, I'm supposed to wear jammies!" I don't think she understands that I spend the whole day cleaning and getting ready for Anika's party and the laundry is not caught up. I told her it's ok to wear just a tshirt to bed and promised to be supermom and get all the laundry done tomorrow.
