Well, its that time again- my little superhero had a big birthday. Nate turned two!! Woo-hoo! Our celebrations centered around outdoor events, namely the park and the zoo. The weather was amazing, considering it was the end of November- cool and sunny, pretty much perfect. The party included Nate's first carousel ride, lots of birthday cupcakes and presents, and getting to meet everyone at the Audubon Zoo. We even fed the giraffes carrots! It was a fun-filled and happy day for our little man.
During this birthday milestone, I think about how far we have come, and what I have learned as a mommy this time around. Here's the short list:
(1) Little people flourish on a routine;
(2) So do big people;
(3) When playing with kids, its good to get down to eye level and not worry about getting yourself messy or dirty. Play time is supposed to be that way. Channel your inner child and be happy in the moment.
(4) Everyone learns at their own pace. Be patient.
(5) Things that used to be amazing in childhood, still are today. Like the giraffes at the zoo.
(6) If life knocks you down, get up, dust yourself off, put on your superhero cape and jump back in!
