Letters to Hope

Hope Elizabeth Elfman is Now Two Years Old!

Today is your Birthday!

You are two years old today and although today we are not doing much besides preparing for tomorrow you woke up in a cranky mood.

We have all had colds for awhile now and I think we just keep infecting each other but none the less I am doping you up on cold meds so you are in better spirits.

I have lots to do today, tomorrow we are having a party for you in the park, I ordered balloons and we are having cupcakes and pizza, we are also getting a clown and I think about 30 people are coming plus all the people at the park…

It is an Elmo inspired birthday since you love Elmo and I think it will be a lot of fun for you since you love the park and you love Elmo we are getting you a very large swing set for you to play on for the back yard, we where going to wait until next year to get it but Chee Chee just had to get it for you now. So we are all chipping in and getting you the really nice expensive one. I think you are going to love it.

On another note, you are quickly learning potty training and now have gone several nights without peeing in your diaper we try to keep “big girl panties” on you for most of the day but you usually run around naked. We have not gotten to the stage where we go anywhere without a diaper on you but I think that will be soon. Unless you are super busy you hate the feel of the diaper on you so that is a good sign.

You went to the mall with me the other day to get your picture taken with the Easter Bunny, You LOVED him you where amazed by his feet and large ears and did not want to leave him. You are talking more and more I swear it is like you wake up and already know new words, every day you amaze me.
