Second Birthday Party

Leah and her adoring fans during her birthday party.

Leah loves cake. We had Sesame Street cupcakes made. Leah looked at the cupcakes for a long time before deciding which character she wanted (Ernie). Se was really excited to get to use her number 2 candle that we had purchased from Target a few weeks ago.

Leah didn't care for the singing, again. This time she opted to snuggle on Mama during the "Happy Birthday" song.

Leah was very excited to get presents. We started talking about the party several days in advance since Sassy doesn't usually like crowds of people. She gets especially nervous if she thinks people might touch her (like want to hold her). We talked about how people would come to the party, bring presents, give hugs, and Mama and Dada would be there to have fun with Sassy. Every time we talked about the party she would say "toys!". As the people started arriving to the party Sassy said, "go nap, night night!". I let her play on the Zoom, though, and she got acclimated to the crowd. I think all the new toys were her favorite part of the party!

Whoa! Look at all that loot in the background! Leah Elisabeth is one lucky child. Thank you to the many people who came to the party!
