Megan Turns Two!

\Theoretically, I think it was Megan's birthday today? Or maybe it's tomorrow? When you have a baby who was born on leap day, it's apparently very difficult to ascertain the correct date on which to celebrate this personal milestone in the years when there is no leap day.

The good news is, for now, Megan can't tell when we've been gone for ten minutes or ten hours. Everything is relative to her. Case in point ... we took her shopping for her own birthday party decorations today. While she grabbed an Elmo easter basket and started running through Party City like she was a contestant on "Supermarket Sweep," Jillian casually grabbed streamers, plates, napkins, etc. that would be used for her party, checked with Megan at the end if she liked them while I helped restock the shelves from Megan's spree and we were done.

In fact, we're actually not 'celebrating' her birthday until next week ... a full week after her technical birthday. My parents can come to Michigan next week and be a part of it so we decided to postpone it for a week. So a bigger post is coming. But for now we celebrated with just the immediate family tonight with Megan's favorite dinner: hot dogs wrapped in crescent rolls with ketchup dipping sauce, strawberries, pineapples, and corn. Yum. And for dessert? Technically a treat for me, but a nice cookie cake with only chocolate frosting. Mmmm.

We did sing 'Happy Birthday' four times in a row because Megan liked hearing a song with her name in it, so I anticipate doing that again next week. And if you ask her how old she is, she can confidently say two. I can't believe my little girl has gone through another year of growth. As I jokingly tell Jill, "She's 1/9th of the way to leaving home for college." Where does the time go?
