Day 14 - Happy Birthday, Maggie!

Maggie had a nice 2nd birthday. It was pretty low key. She and big sister had a lot of fun playing with a few new toys. She was not sure about the #2 candle on her cake - I think she would have been just as happy to have gotten right down to eating - but Carly insisted that she have a candle. Maggie really enjoyed her cake - eating 3 pieces before agreeing to leave the table. The cake was pretty pathetic - the only thing in the apartment that was somewhat cake shaped was an aluminum pie plate. Luckily, all she requested was a cake. I think I'm going to have a harder time pleasing Carly next week on her birthday...she's got elaborate plans for her cake.

Carly kept telling us that Maggie was the "boss" today. So, we pretty much let Maggie pick out many of the activities. The main thing she wanted to do was eat popcorn and watch a Barbie movie. All day we kept asking Maggie how old she was...The answer was always "1" or "4". Oh well. I guess we have a year to practice.
