Ruby turned 2 on February 18th, a Monday. We had a party for her the Saturday before. Many of her favorite people were there. She loved having the attention on her and was very excited about all the presents. I don't think she really cared what was in them... as long as they were presents. When it was all said and done, it seemed some dress-up necklaces, some puppy toys, and a book of stickers were her favorite. Of course, the simple things. We had a crayon theme for the party. Ruby loved coloring with her guests and digging into her crayon cake... though she did prefer to use a fork this year. :) One benefit of the theme this year was that she learned her colors. She has got most of them down, her favorite still being green.
Ruby got a few outside toys including a trike and a new picnic table. Though she wanted to open and play with them right now, we quietly tucked them away in the garage. It will be fun to relive it in April when we can finally get them out again. (There was a bit of a fit thrown about giving up the trike... but luckily she forgot about it the next day!)
Ruby's third year has already brought us a very independent girl. The most common phrase we hear out of her mouth is "I got it!" -said with a bit of sass. As if, how dare her mother try to help her with something like cutting up her chicken or how dare her daddy try to hold her hand while she is walking down the steps. O goodness... it will be an interesting year. We just keep telling ourselves with independence comes learning and learning she is!
