Cecily turned 2

Cecily's birthday was in April. We had a fun party with my family--played at Jumping Jacks and then had pizza and cake at our clubhouse. The next day Ryan's family came over as well and we had cake and presents. She was the typical two-year-old. All the presents were hers, and rightly so, but did she really need to scream at anyone who came within 3 feet of her gifts?? Apparently so...

And Ryan's family got one of their favorite latest inside jokes from her birthday--Cec was so excited to go to the "jumpa place" and sqealed the whole way there. But then she kept crying when she'd go down the slides--she cried first becasue she wanted to go by herself, so then I'd let her, and she'd cry more because it was too fast and roughed her up a bit. Total lose lose. So by the end of our playtime, she was asking to leave (not a good sign), and then on the way home said : "Eee mahn it (translation: I don't want it) jumpa place!" I got quite a kick out of it and told the fam what a "success" it was, and they thought it was pretty hilarious too. So now when we don't want/like something, it's "Eee mahn it jumpa place." (Said with a scowl of course!)

I think overall the day really was a success though, she loved her princess (ba-dess) castle cake, princess decor, presents, and most of all, LOVED the happy birthday song. She literally screamed in delight as we sang to her. And that huge smile made it all worth it!
