Eyla's Birthday

Yesterday was Eyla's second birthday. First thing in the morning I gave her a Birthday Queen crown which she wore with pride. Then we went to the park so she could "slide slide" (she says almost all her words in doubles). After lunch and a nap she was ready to go again. We played the afternoon away like usual, reading, sidewalk chalk, watering the plants, and when we had down time she was so good and justed looked at her presents but didn't touch. Finally after a gourmet dinner of her favorite foods mac and cheese, hot dogs, and jello, we did the birthday stuff.

Her new bike, I know it seems big for her to have a 2 wheeler but she is actually pretty good at it. Whenever we went to the store to have her try out a tricycle she would have nothing to do with it and would walk over to the bikes instead, so it may take a little more work and time but she loves it and she'll be riding like crazy before we know it.


This is my favorite picture from her birthday because it shows exactly what kind of big sister she is. After she blew out her candles and tasted a big finger full of frosting she shared some with Raya. I loved it.

Her "I'll smile for you but I would much rather just keep eating my cake and ice-cream" face.
This is with all her loot. What you don't see she jammed in the little backpack she is wearing.
She absolutely loves her tea-party set and set a place at her little table for all four of us (me and Perry are just a little to big to sit at that table) but she showed Raya exactly where to sit and they just played like that all night.
First thing when she got up this morning she was cooking and pretending it is so cute. When we got ready for the day after I did her hair she applied her make-up, thanks Aunt Cindy, The cute thing is I didn't even have to remind her about it, she just went and got it and wanted to put in on to complete her getting ready. She has spent tons of time out on her bike, Perry is so cute trying to teach her how to make her legs go around.
Can't wait till next week.....
