You! Yes, you, you mom that pulls off a toddler birthday party with
style and panache and never break a sweat. I envy you. I mean, I don’t even
deserve to ride in your mini-van, I’m so unworthy.
I’m a mommy to a 2
year old. Well, will be 2 at the end of this month. And he’s totally aware of it because we’ve been teaching him to say “I two” while holding up the peace-sign-two-finger
hand gesture.
So. This is a big deal. Two years of Reef, two years of being alive, two
years of diapers. (Seriously. That has to add up to like 608,000 diapers). It's
been a good run of babyhood and toddlerhood. And I'm ready to celebrate.
We’re planning on having friends and classmates gather to ingest loads of sugar and sing “happy birthday” in high-pitched voices while all kinds of pandemonium
breaks out as the excitement of having something other than goldfish for snack
takes hold.
Luckily, Reef doesn’t know about Pinterest and the insanity moms are going to
for crafting life-size images of their children with marshmallow cream and
fondant. He also doesn't know that toddler moms everywhere are Instagram'ming
the hipster parties. I am not THAT mom, but I do have some small talents of my
own. Like re-creating ideas I love and tweaking them just a little.
I'll let you know how it turns out in a couple of weeks. [wink]
