Allison’s 2nd birthday was a few weeks ago and we got together with her & her mommy to celebrate both Mallory & Allison’s birthdays today.
When we were shopping for Alli’s presents, I kept telling Mallory that they were for Alli’s birthday, so she talked about Yaya’s birthday for a few minutes. Then she started saying “My birthday, mama!” so I had to explain that her birthday was a few weeks away, etc. Plus, we have been working on “how old are you” and “how old will you be on your birthday” for a couple of weeks so there has been a bit of birthday talk around here lately.
We were wrapping Alli’s presents today and she kept picking up the presents and saying “MY BIRTHDAY!” and I told her again that her birthday is coming up and that these presents were for Alli.
A few minutes later, she said “My birthday coming up, mama!!”. It cracks me up how she is picking up so many new words and is able to say little sentences like these.
Anyway, back to the mini-birthday celebration today. The girls got to play for a bit in their matching BFF shirts that Alli’s mommy got them:
And they got matching purple purses too!
And the best part – CAKE! We were laughing about this year compared to last year – last year it was smashed cupcake EVERYWHERE – this year the little princesses ate their cake with real utensils and hardly made a mess!
I’m jealous reading back on this. There is NO way my kids will eat their birthday cake this year without making a mess. I must have little piggies. LOL.
