Lotus turned two
On September 11th Lotus celebrated her 2nd birthday and Nate and I learned a valuable lesson. Don't tell your kid the night before their birthday that "Tomorrow is your birthday!!! YEAH!", because apparantly they won't to go to sleep, since they are too excited for this upcoming event. Even if they have no idea what a birthday is.
Lotus woke up at almost the stroke of midnight (right about the time we were ready to go to bed after putting together and wrapping her presents) and refused to go back to sleep. At 4am we had to go for a walk so she could see that everyone else in the neighborhood was sleeping and at 5am I snapped "if you don't go to sleep I am canceling your birthday..." so I was the best mom ever!
So her actual birthday was a little surreal. But she was pretty happy with the new playhouse Nate and I got her and some other presents.
Blowing out her pie at home since we were all so tired we couldn't make it through dinner at the restaurant.
