Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday, dear Jacob,
Happy birthday to you!
It’s impossible, but there it is. Friday, Jacob turned two, and we celebrated with our dear friends the Laughlins and Gayle. There was cake, fingerpainting, presents, wily antics on the part of the little ones, and a lot of laughter. It was so nice to capture a relaxed and wonderful birthday weekend, after the stress of last year. (We arrived in CA the day before Jacob’s first birthday.)
Jacob is nothing if not ready for the twos. Talking, doing simple jigsaw puzzles, singing, dancing, running, playing games, imagining up a storm, demanding book after book after book. In some ways, I’m much less suited to being the mother of a toddler–nothing much bothered me about baby care, but whining gives me a headache within the first 0.02 seconds. On the other hand, this is such an exciting and wonderful time that I can’t imagine missing it.
I’m sure I’ll feel that way about every age, though.
Happy birthdya. Looks like he had a great time.
