Lexi is two already! She is in LOVE with Abby from Sesame Street so she was wearing the headband and wings for her party all day Saturday. Every time I would ask her if she wanted to open her presents she would say "Abby". Then when if was time to open them, she looked in each bag for Abby. Apparently cause I told her we were having an Abby party she thought Abby would be there in person, so was trying to find her all day. So silly.
Instead of regular cupcakes, I made ice cream cones (with cupcakes on top and the frosting swirled so it looked like a cone from Mc D's) Lexi's had Abby ontop which she loved.
She does the silliest things. Instead of running in the sprinkler or on the slip n slide, she stood next to it and splashed hysterically till she was soaked! Wild Woman!!
So, since she hadn't had nearly enough sugar for the weekend, On her actual birthday, Sunday, we decided to take her to lunch at the Ram after church so she could have a Mile High Mud Pie. She thought that was a splendid idea!
The only thing she couldn't decide was if it was more efficient to use her spoon or fingers to shovel it in : )
After a good rejuvenating nap, we went to a birthday party for one of Kailey's pre-k buddies at the Little Gym. This was Lexi's first LG experience and she LOVED it! She is so funny about certain sensory things. For example, I have NEVER been able to change her diaper in a public bathroom cause being up in the air on those pull down tables FREAKS her out. You'd think I was performing surgery! The giant jump houses freak her out. She will only swing if it goes slow. Anything with air and movement or suspension involved together, she is not going for. (But she will climb up on counters or to the top of the monkey bars without qualms). I don't get it but it is what we would call in my OT world as a bit of gravitational insecurity. Not diagnosable, but interesting to an OT mom. At any rate, she HATED the air track (a long air filled giant mat that the kids run, tumble, jump etc on). But the high bar with a complete stranger working there's help, totally okay with that! I am baffled at her presentation of symptoms, but love her to death for sparking my curiosity and defying anything that fits into a box, as is par for her personality.
Aside from the high bar, the other highlight of this event for her was hide and seek. The kids had to line up and hide against a wall while the staff hid and they found them. She was so adorable sitting with a bunch of five year old's.
What's that Lexi? Sunday school, a Mile High Mud Pie and Little Gym party wasn't quite enough fun for the day? Sure we can go to the park with a buddy : ) So off we went with our Holmes friends to our favorite park.
Thank you Kerri for my Popcycle for my FINAL birthday treat : ) Wow, that was a lot of sugar in one weekend. But isn't she cute!!!
Again, gravitational insecurity? Huh?? And let's talk about out second favorite activity to climbing; feeding "baby" Casey. Here is evidence of her sneaking him her popcycle : ) Sorry Kerri!!
My birthday wouldn't be the same without my beautiful big sister to celebrate!
Happy Birthday "Flower Lexi"!
P.S. If you didn't know, or just forgot, Lexi got the nickname Flower from her big sister. That is what she was determined to name her while she was still in my tummy and we were deciding on a name. She would talk to Lexi in my tummy and call her "flower", when people would ask what we were naming the baby, she would answer for us "flower". So, she is our Lexi Flower : )
