Bryan came home from work on February 11 with a pretty balloon to the delight of his two-year-old. After supper, we put another set of cupcakes on our balloon tray and once again serenaded Sylvia with the birthday song.
She really understands the ceremony of singing and blowing out candles this year. And she’s so excited that it is her turn!
After supper, we retired to the living room, where the kids ate their toes.
Bryan was disgusted.
Andrew did a super job of being a big brother to the birthday girl. It can be hard to have your sibling getting all the attention for the day, but he handled it quite well.
LuAnn got Sylvia this fantastic red corduroy cape. It’s lined in a vibrant black and white flannel and has a great button at the neck. She’s going to be so cute wearing it!
Then LuAnn really outdid herself and made Sylvia a beautiful dress. With a matching one for her dolly. And a matching purse. Sylvia immediately wanted to try them all on and checked out all the details.
Here’s my favorite picture of my birthday girl.
Here, Sylvia is also sporting her new bath robe and her new red shoes!
My little water flower.
An outfit change…trying on jeans, a lamb shirt, and putting her shoes on herself.
She says, “Birthdays are great!”
Happy birthday, sweet Sylvia!
*much rejoicing*
I’m so glad you enjoy the posts about the kids. I have been planning on doing a post today, but I’m having a writing dry spell. Bizarrely, when I sit down to write, I am drawing a blank. Hmmm. Oh well! Enjoy those photos for a little while:)

No worries, just click clicking when I can.
🙂 I love getting clicks.
For those of you not in the Babler family, “clicking” refers to the dog obedience clicker training. When you’re clicker training dogs, you give them a treat as you make a clicking noise. The dogs associate the clicking sound with being rewarded. So eventually, you don’t need to treat them, just “click” them. The dog hears the click and gets all happy. We apply this to people as well. “Click click,” we say to reward good behavior. And then we feel all happy.
