picture this...

Today Anna was invited to her friend, Andrew's, second birthday party. Anna had a great time at the party playing with the other kids and checking out all of Andrew and his sister's toys (especially his sister's toy kitchen set!) But the highlight of the party for me was certainly seeing Anna at the table with all the other kids. Besides Andrew's four-year-old sister, there were two other four-year-olds, another two-year-old, a 1 1/2 year old, and a 7 month old at the party. It was so cute to see them all sitting around the table together! And Anna actually ate what all the other kids ate - pizza & strawberries with cupcakes for dessert. (Anna had a cupcake with a basketball on top - most of it ended up in her hair, but she certainly enjoyed it!) I really think she liked the experience of sitting at the table with all the big kids. At one point her friend Claire (1 1/2) turned to Anna & ripped her bib off - so of course Anna did the same - so cute :)

Yesterday when we were at an indoor playground, a little boy asked me, "Is she a baby?" I said, "Well kind of baby and kind of a little girl." Today I really feel like she is a little girl :)

  1. I like the image of Bananas swiping back. Soon, everyone will know, "You don't mess with Anna."

    The hierarchy in the kid world is so well-formed. "Is she a baby?" It's a better question than an adult can ask. And that you had to consider the answer...

    Mom said Anna woofed at a dog on their walk. Wish I was home. Can't wait for the party in two weeks!
