Our Little Engineer Turns 2
Friday was Amelia’s actual birthday – so she got to open up her gifts from us. We are encouraging her little engineering tendencies – so she got tools, a puzzle and a railroad set. All of which went over really well. Hard to tell which she likes more – probably the tool set right now but she’s seen daddy putting together her sister’s room quite a bit lately. In particular she was a fan of the drill which makes drilling noises (though doesn’t actually drill). Mommy is not the biggest fan of this – the batteries might have to go away.
I also brought special snacks to daycare for her birthday (dairy/egg/nut free cookies – thanks to http://www.divvies.com/); however, when I got there Amelia thought that meant she got to go home. So I don’t have any cute pictures of that – the kids seemed to enjoy the cookies at least! (other than Amelia – she just doesn’t seem to want sweets… she wouldn’t even try the cookie or her birthday cake). She just sat curled up against me hugging me until I would take her home.
She did enjoy the card they made her though! Thanks Primrose schoolmates!
Not really a birthday gift – but our good friend Meredith gave Amelia this adorable frame. Can’t wait to have a picture to put in it – thanks Meredith! (And I also really enjoy this picture of her holding it – just cracks me up)
Her party was a big success on Sunday and will have a post shortly.
