Happy birthday, Catbird!

I can’t believe it has been two years already. Time sure does fly when you’re sleep deprived.

We had a mini-celebration on Saturday – just the four of us.

The cake was a vegan cake from Corina’s Bakery in Tacoma. It was the King’s Favorite a banana cake with peanut butter frosting crowned in a rich, dark chocolate ganache. Sinful.

For her birthday we bought her some much needed summer clothes and a wading pool. After cake, Craig inflated her pool and we let her and Molly play in it for a bit before nap time.

Getting her out of the pool was a bit of a disaster. There were a lot of tears. She didn’t appreciate it when I softly sang “It’s my party and I’ll cry if I want too.” Also, there was no nap.

Greatest. Birthday. Ever.

I kid. It really was a good time. I love my little girl and wouldn’t trade her for all the sleep in the world!

Happy birthday, Catarina.

Now stop growing.
