Today was Charlotte's second birthday. Getting ready for church in the morning was horrifically laced with tantrums by all four of us, but at least I wasn't giving birth, I told myself. After dinner we had a little party with presents and cake. Isaiah was almost as excited as Charlotte. He helped me wrap her gifts, then helped her unwrap them. She immediately stowed her lovey in the trike, placed her lipgloss in the Hello Kitty purse, and screamed delightfully when she opened the books. She was also thrilled to see more birthday candles after their introduction a few weeks ago. And chocolate cake to top it all off...at least the day ended well.
