Happy 2 Little Roo


Hopefully I can find the will to do some catch up blogging, but for now it is best to live in the present. Our little TP turned 2.

She's amazing, wonderful, sweet and stinky. Perhaps due to the craziness of the last year (and the last 2 months in particular), it almost seems hard to believe she isn't turning 3 instead of 2. That is until I am just now reminded by her behavior which is pretty typical of a 2 year old. Some of her favorite things to do:

CLIMB. She's been adopted into the primate family. As I write this she is sitting on top of our kitchen table where I am trying to do my family history (blogging ; ) sticking her fingers and wires into the computer where they don't belong. She LOVES to climb onto the bathroom vanity and turn on the water. Notice I didn't mention anything about turning the water off.

FOLLOW LG. I always wanted a big brother to follow around (I'm sure my brothers would have preferred that as well). Anywhere he goes, she goes. Anything he loves, she loves. For better or worse they are inseparable.

SPEAK IN CODE. She basically says the first and last part of any word, sentence or phrase. "Yo ho, yo ho a pirate's life for me" = "Hi ho me". Pocket = pock. You get the idea, you probably just won't get what she is saying.

DRESS UP. Thankfully her tomboyish behavior is tempered by a high sense of style. She loves shoes, dresses, having her hair done, and thinking she is a princess - which she is.

What fun it is to have so much laughter and life in our home. She's a lot of sunshine and a little sass. Just like we like 'em around here. Happy Birthday Roo!

Every Princess needs a castle, and what do you get for building it? Either knighthood or a whap in the face. Royalty is so unpredictable.


I told you she likes looking pretty. She wanted to show you her hair.


Every superhero needs a sidekick. Especially one with a tiara, wand and a princess cape.
