Twice the fun



I can't really go the cliché route here and say that I'm in disbelief over Arden turning 2 in a few short days. Really, she seems like she's been 2 for a while. Maybe that's because between keeping up with her big brother and proving her worth, she's always been about 10 steps ahead of me. Walking at 9 months, speaking in sentences at 15 months, potty training at 22 months . . . I've never quite been ready for her.

The second birthday is the most low key affair of all the single digit birthdays in my opinion — not the same to-do as the first, too young to really care or understand like the third. So we took advantage of having the godparents in town and threw an unpretentious (read: grocery store cupcakes, no decorations, one present) early birthday party Friday night. The real birthday is Tuesday.
