Today is very bitter sweet for Mommy. It's my baby's 2nd birthday. I couldn't be prouder of our big girl. Kyleigh is such a sweet, bright, funny little girl. She keeps us in stitches constantly and we are always looking at each other saying, "Where did she get that?"
Our precious angel is now going potty on the big potty (not always, but most of the time) and decided she was ready to do this on her own, and as of two nights ago, she's also sleeping a big girl bed. Wow, how quickly they grow up. This morning, Kevin and I went in to get her out of bed together and she awoke with a huge smile on her face to her Mommy and Daddy singing "Happy Birthday Dear Kyleigh." Kevin made her eggs, which was the only thing she asked for last night when we told her we were going to make her a special birthday breakfast, and I read her birthday book to her, which is now a tradition in our home. We will have hot dogs for dinner (yes, I'm serious, the kid loves hot dogs), open presents, and have left over Mickey Mouse cake tonight. She will also have cupcakes at school today. Tomorrow is the Dora party at Pizza Hut with a Dora cake and all of our friends. What a busy birthday this has been for Kyleigh. I think she is going to assume all birthdays last for over a week and are followed closely by Christmas.
I have been reminiscing a lot this morning on that amazing day 2 years ago. I was so miserable at that point in my pregnancy (or should I say for my entire pregnancy) and so ready to meet our baby, but the day was exciting and labor was not too terrible for me. I will never forget how that beautiful face greeted the world and singing Happy Birthday to our lamb on the day she was born. She is a true gift from God and we have never been more blessed. Happy Birthday Sweetheart. We love you!
