Turning 2.
There's something especially special about this second child of mine turning 2--
Maybe I've realized, really really realized, that a finger snaps and time flies by. Soon she'll be sitting at the counter doing homework and wearing athletic socks.
So we're relishing-rejoicing in this moment.
I love so much this flouncy little pixie. Her orange glowing head lighting the way; she pads through the zoo in a pink tutu dress-- because Eloise doesn't care a penny what any of us say-- she'll wear pink doggonit, and she'll wear it like a beast. And as a second time around mommy, I let her eat cake and wear pink and watch cartoons just a little more than I did the first time around.
Happy 2, my darling 2. You've given me the gift of a lighter heart every day of your life. Keep doing what you do; use every shade of pink in the box, love all the bunnies everywhere, sit on the steps and eat your measuring cup of peas. Do all these things the way you do them best. You are Eloise, and I love you, little big 2.
