My little/BIG TWO Year old!

My sweet, first born little girl, love of my life, turned TWO on Saturday! I just think it is so CRAZY that she is two. I mean it is such a shocker, but then, at the same time, NOT. She is such a Ms. Independent little thing and tries to do EVERYTHING her older brother is doing! She talks in full sentences already, and you can understand almost everything she is trying to tell you. If you can't she will take you to the source itself, or just keep telling you, "NO", until you figure it out. I mean because it's your problem you don't understand her, not hers! She is the sweetest little thing but, in the drop of a dime, can be a PISTOL! I love it. She makes me laugh so hard! She has the best personality and character. Sometimes it is so hard for me to discipline her because I am laughing to hard (and trying to not let her see that I am laughing) to be so serious. She is pretty good at throwing fits too. But then, she can be the best sharer of toys and the best listener. Usually she does what you tell her to do the first time. Unless, it's not what she is feeling at the moment. Ha! Oh, how she can hold her own. Her brother is even scared of her at times. Gotta love it!

The doll house she got from us and my mom. She LOVES it!

She was so cute and wouldn't let me take her picture

Singing "Happy Birthday"

Licking the icing

Finally took a bite of it!

I pray on a daily basis for wisdom when guiding her and discipling her. It has been a complete difference between her and Ezra. Ezra, you can give him the "look" and he will stop right away and be so sorry. With her, she is like, "is that all you got." Which makes me laugh out loud as I am typing this and having flashbacks of different moments. Oh, how I LOVE HER!
As far as the things she is doing and "knows". She is so smart. She knows all of her colors, some shapes and can count to 5. She knows some letters too, but I think that's because we work on them with Ezra and she is right up in there with him. She would LOVE to be a part of his pre-school busy bee class. Unfortunately, you have to be 3 to be in his pre-school. We have another tortuous year of dropping him off at his class while she has to go back home with me. Somehow, staying home with me is NOT the "it" thing. Maybe I need to spice up our routine a little bit!
Happy Birthday my sweet Emmy girl! You are such a blessing to our family. We love you!

Here are more pictures from her party:
