Vivian's birthday was yesterday. We had a simple celebration to celebrate her special day. I always swore that I would not baby the youngest, but I find that I am despite my best intentions. I just can't help it. She is the baby. Surely she is not ready for things like potty training, dressing herself, and talking in small sentences! Yet, she defies me and does all that and more.
She has become quite the little helper. She tries to put her own laundry away, and wants to help with just about anything the big kids do, or anyone else is doing for that matter. The latest example was when we were at the state capital a few weeks ago. The homeschool band played, and there were chairs set up around the area. When the performances were done the workers came and started stacking the chairs on their carts. While we were gathering our stuff Vivian started pushing all the chairs toward the workers.
I went back and read the post from her first birthday. She sure has changed a lot in this last year! Somethings though have stayed the same, like sucking on that knuckle. Below are pictures from the year, starting with her first birthday and ending with one taken yesterday!
She's so pretty! Happy b-day to her, and many, many blessings.
ReplyDeleteMine turned two in the Fall, and I wish I could say my little one was a helper. She likes to do things herself, which is great, but it makes huge messes...her favorite big girl activity is helping herself to food and drink from the frig. :0 We need a frig. lock!
OH! Happy Birthday Vivvy! What a big girl you're getting to be!
ReplyDeleteHappy belated! She's a doll.
ReplyDeleteShe is quite a beauty - those eyes! My boy turned 2 in the fall and he is a helper too. So is the 4-year-old. They help me put clothes in the dryer (and take them out), and they put their (plastic) dishes in the sink. So far DeBoy can't open the refrigerator, and the Queen hasn't started actually opening containers.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Vivian! (and her Mommy, who I totally agree with. How can they be 2 already?)
She is so sweet! Happy Birthday Vivian! Hopefully we can get down soon...as it looks it probably won't be until late April. Bummer. (Unless I change my mind on Cayo Costa.....)
ReplyDeleteIt's so funny! I can see all three of your older kids in her!
