Setting the Bar Low

When it comes to setting precedence with regard to extravagant birthday parties for our princess, a pretty modest standard has been established. For her first birthday: Applebee's. For her second birthday: Applebee's. We have been so busy lately with work, sports, packing, travel and so on, there just hasn't been time to plan a party. No presents, no cake, no candles.

We've been working with MelodyJoy on how to hold up two fingers. She often holds up just her index finger . . .

She enjoyed stealing Phillip's milkshake but ate only the cherry off the top of her own ice cream . . .

She's a live wire . . .
