Eva had a birthday. It was fitting that it was her 2nd birthday because she was a terrible grump all day! She took her responsibility to begin the terrible 2’s very seriously. From the moment she woke up it was tantrums and whining. ALL DAY LONG. By midafternoon I was ready to sell her off.
Thankfully she cheered up for presents and cake. However, the joy was short lived when she freaked out at bedtime. Sigh. Welcome to life with a 2-year-old.
I made her what was supposed to be a delicious yellow cake from scratch. It was disappointing. The recipe called for cake flour but I didn’t have any so I figured it wouldn’t matter if I used all-purpose flour. Turns out it mattered. The cake was very dense. It was moist and the frosting was delicious but it was more of a concrete slab than a cake. (I have now added cake flour to my shopping list.) Good thing Eva is only 2. She wasn’t deterred by the density.
She had a lot of presents to open. A book from her friend Allie.
An umbrella from Ma and Pa.
Another book from Grandma Maas. Perfect for our avid reader.
A trike, also from Ma and Pa. She loves it.
And a dress and sweater from Grandma and Grandpa Hardy. I love this dress. I want her to wear it everyday.
Eva awoke this morning and instantly ran for her trike. A successful present.
It’s crazy how quickly she has grown. I can vividly remember her birth and I shake my head at the reality that it’s been 2 years already. Eva has completely changed and blessed our lives in ways we didn’t know were possible. We love being parents. It was definitely worth the wait.
Happy birthday, Eva!
