Turning Two

Our little Mace turned two today.
When we sang Happy Birthday:
("Do I like this?... Yes, I do.")

And, stifle your laughs about the cake. It's a CAT, although I don't know what kind, and neither does Macey: she was somewhat perplexed when I told her what it was.

Here's Macey enjoying some cake with her friends. She would probably prefer spending all her time with my friends, probably especially if they would play with toys:)

Yum.
One of her birthday presents was a 'batman cape.' She even told someone at church today she was batman.

Cody loves the way the wind blows his cape around:)!

Macey very nonchalantly picked up this yellow bat today and said "Can I hit Cody?" as if she were asking for a glass of milk. I'm not sure if it was the backwords cape, the huge bat, her cute face or random question that made me laugh so much.

Sugar and Spice - that about sums her up. She knows exactly what she wants and how she wants it and really honestly is a sweetheart!:)

On a video chat today my mom wanted to hear her sing her ABCs and so she said "Macey sing your ABC's" and I knew before Macey responded that she wouldn't. I also realized why-it wasn't Macey's idea. A wise friend of mine told me once that one of her children wouldn't do anything unless it was his idea. That is her to a T. So I said, "Macey, grandma heard that you can sing your ABC's, you could show her that you know them." She sang as much as she could remember at the moment.

Here's some of the reasons we love Macey:

-Every evening before before she falls asleep and every morning before we get her out of bed we are serenaded by her. She also loves singing in the car. She does not like me singing

-She loves to serve others

-She has three blankets, yes THREE, that have to come in & out of the crib every time she does.

-She LOVES kitties.

-She is an amazing sleeper. thank you thank you thank you

-She talks nonstop.

-She loves her nursery worker friend. If he has other children on his lap she will very carefully squish her butt in the middle of them so she can sit on his lap.

-She LOVES fruit like blueberries, peaches, pears

-She does not like anyone she first meets and will let them know, but if you get to know her, she LOVES and adores you.

-She will follow me around making sure I put things away correctly.

-She loves reading books.
