Emma turned two today....my how time flies! She announced to us this morning that she is a "big Girl" now. Which is good as she quite often aspires to be a big boy just like her brother!
She and Ollie are sharing a room now so she was woken to a beautiful rendition of Happy Birthday to you by her big brother (after reminding him that the reason the day was so special was not because he was going to able to have cupcakes at daycare with his mates but rather because his sister was turning 2 which is the actual reason for the cupcakes...apparently when you are three and a half the only good thing about birthdays are the edibles...he truly is his father's son!!).
Ollie and Emma incidentally are sharing a room because Ollie's room is now home to a monster. The monster arrived one night approximately 2 weeks ago leading Ollie to fly out of his room and scramble over his sleeping father into our bed...only to refuse to ever go back. He has kindly suggested that he stay in Emma's room so they can keep each other safe and the new baby can have Ollie's old room...nice welcome isn't it sacrificing the one you don't know to the monster inhabited room!! The sharing of rooms has not been without hiccough as Emma loves to chat and sing to her roomate well past 9pm and would sleep in if her early morning rising brother would let her...so suffice it to say we have late to bed early to rise scenario which Mum and Dad are hoping will change in the near future!!
Below are some pics from earlier this morning...Emma woke to presents and balloons and a pancake breakfast. From Mum, Dad, Ollie and Baby (tba tomorrow) she received some dollies which she calls "princees" that she can dress and undress (the shoes are a favourite) and a beautiful dress. From Nanny Carol she received her birthday dress that she is wearing in her pictures.
She will be having a "birthday party" tonight with Nanny Frances and Uncle Mike. She has kindly promised to save Grandad Bernie some Birthday cake although Ollie stated that he wouldn't since Grandad Bernie isn't here....it's a good thing for Grandad Bernie that it's not Ollie's birthday he is missing!!
There are also some pics below taken by my cousin Claire Kugler (nee: white) who has recently taken up photography with a special interest in "big bellies" so the pics of the family below were taken on a beautiful day in October (the 13th I do believe)...Enjoy.
Barring any emergent trips to the labour and delivery ward I will upload pics later tonight of the birthday cake and party!
