My Baby turned two on Thursday. Can you believe it? Soon I will have to teach her that her name is Claire and not Baby. We decided that a little girl with two older sister does not really want in the toy department. So instead of getting her lots of stuff we did something we thought she would enjoy. We went to Baby Animal Day at the American West Heritage Center. We had a great time holding and petting baby cows,
baby lambs
baby piggies-I came away with a poopy sleeve as a souvenir
baby goats- he had no teeth yet so it was fun to let him chew on our fingers
baby bears- super cool! How often do you get to pet a bear?
and Baby.
We even got to wait in line for an hour to go on a 32-second train ride. Sydney timed it for us.
After we came home and gave the birthday girl a much-needed nap and birthday spruce up (clean clothes with no pig poop on them), we had a little party. Claire got some new clothes, new shoes, sidewalk chalk, playdough, a care bear, and the three little pigs in their little houses. After a little prompting, Claire got into opening her "prizes".
I made her a lamby cake. Pretend it looks like a lamb and not a bear with identity issues. Not my finest work, but not bad for having just over and hour to put the whole thing together.
Claire blew out her own candles, much to everyone's delight.
And we all enjoyed our cake and ice cream.
Happy birthday, my sweet girl. We sure do love you!
