Zoe Beth will be two years old on Sunday. It feels like she has been with us forever, I can't imagine life without her.
She has completely moved on from the baby regression stage, learning new words every day, putting together short sentences, learning colors and body parts. She is funny and fun to be around. She takes her Daddy on long walks every day. She and I sit in the garden path and pull marigold seeds off the plants and she scatters them in my garden for me. I tell her she is my garden fairy. She is my nature girl. When we cut down some trees the other day cleaning up a fence row, she went to the tree after it was down and patted it and said "uh-oh" We thanked the tree for giving us firewood to keep us warm.
I am so blessed to have them so close. I get to see her almost every day. I am watching her grow up from a different viewpoint than I did with my own kids. It is different just watching (and oh so much easier!)
We will have her birthday party on Saturday.. chicken nuggets and french fries, cupcakes and ice cream and presents.

She is so gorgeous!
I'm so happy that you get to be so close to her. That really is a wonderful gift for both of you!
I'm so glad that you have your family close, that there is relatively little drama now, and that you have the wisdom to appreciate how wonderful that your situation really is!

So glad she's over the regression stuff. She and Alyssa are a few months apart, but they remind me a lot of each other at times. :)
