My baby is 2!!

Since we would be traveling on Brooklyn's birthday, we decided to celebrate her 2nd birthday a few days early. She didn't seem to mind one bit. Once we told her it was her birthday, she sang "Happy Birthday to Brooklyn" all day. I was really surprised at how much she understood what was going on. For weeks, she had been telling us she wanted a "swimming baby" for her birthday. She saw a commercial for it on TV & since then that was all she wanted. She told everyone she saw about this "swimming baby". She would say "Swimming baby for my birthday. At Target. Coming up.". I'm sure those that saw her often got tired of hearing about it.
She was so happy today. She was giddy. Her day had finally come. It was fun to watch her open her gifts & get so excited over them. She is so easy to please. She first opened Tic Tacs & thought that was the best thing. Then she got a new book & it became her favorite book all of a sudden. She next opened up a baby stroller & that made her day. She was so excited she just started clapping. She hurried & got a baby doll to put in her stroller & take it for a walk around the house. It's great to see kids enjoy their gifts so much. Later that night, Grandma & Grandpa Yorgason came over to give her a gift. Her dream came true--she got her swimming baby. She loves it!! She wanted to put on all the accessories & go for a walk. Once again, so easily satisfied.
Brooklyn, you are such a wonderful, beautiful, happy little girl. You have grown up so much this last year. I can't believe my baby is 2. You make our lives so much fun & keep us entertained. We all love you & enjoy having you in our family. Happy Birthday sweetie!!
