I'm blue...three...(She's TWO)

Evie knows she is two now but she is getting a kick out of telling us she is blue or three. She can be so ornery:) On her birthday she went to COSI with mom and dad and had a really good time. Their KidSpace area is really nice for a child of her size. She loves the water stuff!
Here's daddy holding her over the air blower. She had a blast!After COSI we took her to Latitude 41, a restaurant downtown that has a unique kid's menu that daddy heard about months ago and we just hadn't gotten around to eating there yet. The kid's menu was a little fancier than most places but didn't seem that unusual (steak, fish, pasta and sauce, teriyaki chicken). Obviously, no hot dogs or chicken fingers here though!

Once they got off work, Nana and Grandma came over to celebrate too. Grandpa was helping great-Grandma with Aunt Mary's surgery at OSU so he had to wait until Saturday to see Miss Two. She got lots of nice things, including clothes, a doctor's kit, and a wagon from Grandma! She also got a bicycle from Grandpa and Nana. We have taken her for a walk with both a few times now so she can switch between them. She LOVES them lots. She also got a Madame Alexander doll for her collection and a special bed for her twin babies with trundle, bedding, pillows and matching pjs for everyone!Saturday morning she and Nana dressed in their ladybug outfits (Evie has on her 2nd birthday dress. We have professional pictures but she was really not into the experience, so it was a bit of a bummer.) Cool Evie has on her shades indoors, cause she rolls like that!Saturday evening her cousins from Indiana came for a visit and she had a blast with them. She loves copying older kids and there were plenty of things to mimic! They read lots of books together, played make-believe, built towers with blocks, snuggled, colored, you name it!She also got even more clothes (see her Belle costume above) and toys from extended family and she got a renewal for our zoo membership, which we are excited to use with the new wagon once the weather warms up again. She is a super spoiled baby and mommy and daddy are worried we might get forced out of our house from all the nice things she has (if anyone wants loaners on her toys she has outgrown, let us know!).

She was lots of fun and had a wonderful second birthday. Thanks to everyone!
