Two Years Old!

Two years ago today our lives were somewhat calm, normal, uncrazed. Two years ago that changed. Oh, we didn’t know it at the time, but we were in for a real treat with this one. Being that she was preceded by four other little darlings, we thought we had all, or most, of the kid stuff covered. She proved us wrong. She has a knack for indiscretion. Even as I type this, I’m watching her in her wading pool, trying to convince a stray kitten that it needs to take a swim with her. And little girl just won. She can make a mess quicker and faster than all of her sibling predecessors combined. She can scream higher, louder, and more shrill than a monkey on a roller coaster. I’m sure someday these attributes will benefit her. Well, those combined with her never-ending persistance. I’m not sure how that would exactly work out, but I’m sure she can handle it. We’ll just sit back and watch the show.

But, she does have her more tolerable qualities as well. There is the cute factor, and she knows when and how to use it. She can give a hug like she thinks the receiver of the hug is the greatest thing in her world. And when it’s time for her to wind down, she becomes the sweetest little lap baby you could imagine.

I’d better go rescue a kitten now.

Happy 2nd Birthday Liddy Diddy! We Love You!
