belated birthay blog
Poor Janie. She's the middle child. Instead of posting anything about her birthay, which was last week, I was expounding on my woes and Dana's cuteness.
Yes, Jane is two. It's hard to believe, except for the fact that she's suddenly growing like a weed and she talks our ears off. She's also turned into my kitchen buddy. When I make dinner or bake cookies, she sits on the counter and helps me cook. I love it. Dana used to do the same thing, but he's too busy playing with his Thomas trains now. I'm glad Jane isn't too big to want to be with me yet. This is my favorite age, even with the discipline issues. She's just big enough to talk to me, but she's not big enough to know that there are more exciting things to do than playing with Mommy. I used to think the newborn phase was best, but that was before Clara started screaming (more on that another time).
On Jane's birthday, my parents came to visit her. We ate cake and ice cream and she opened her presents. Mom and Dad got her an outfit and a really cool bed for her baby doll. We got her a play baking set with everything she needs to make pretend bundt cakes, muffins, and cookies. Dana got her a die-cast James train, which they fight over regularly (who woulda thought). Anyway, that's the scoop. This is kind of choppy, but it will have to do. I'm too tired to spend more time on this. ;)
Please don't laugh at the cake. I screwed up the one I made and my Dad went to BiLo to buy another one. It's a little on the creative side, but Jane didn't care.

Karen-- I totally teared up reading this. I have got to get down there and see you guys. I miss you and the kids so much. There's nothing like family.

Congratulations, Jane! You are getting to be so grown up!
Thanks Karen, you pushed me into doing a birthday blog for our "poor middle children" who turned two this week also.
What a cutie. I wish we knew her. We will have to get our big two year old girls together for a play date sometime.
I am like you - it is almost impossible to believe they are already two. It goes sooooo fast. That is why we have to be careful to enjoy our time with our new little ones and not obsess about how hard it is to get anything done, and how crazy we feel all the time. I know it is easier said than done!
You are a great Mommy! Keep up the good work.
