I can’t believe it’s my baby girl’s 2nd birthday today. How did that happen? Time is flying when you’re having fun, I guess. Unfortunately, Amy’s not feeling well and we are having the third sofa day in a row, but I hope she’ll perk up soon. A birthday isn’t fun when you are ill after all, is it? Luckily, we managed to squeeze in an early birthday visit to the zoo before the bugs and viruses entered this house and Amy got to enjoy the animals.

We had actually planned a lovely little tea party for Friday, but we have postponed that until next week to make sure that a) the birthday girl is in top form again and we b) don’t spread the germs amongst Amy’s party guests. It’s a shame as I was really looking forward to host her first real birthday party (we were in Germany for her first birthday), but Amy just wouldn’t enjoy herself and I don’t want anyone else to get ill. The good thing is that my sister and her boyfriend will be over from Germany next week, so they will be able to celebrate with us, which is great, great, great!

Until then, we’ll snuggle up on the sofa and watch CBeeBies! My letter to the birthday girl and more about Amy’s birthday celebrations will follow when she’s feeling a little bit better. Meanwhile, read her little birthday interview above. I am planning on doing one for every year from now on as I think they’re such a cute idea and a great way to record memories, milestones and interests. What do you think?

What’s your earliest birthday memory? I remember sitting under the table with my friends at my 4th birthday party and we put chocolate into our orange juice and decorated it with a topping of whipped cream. My poor mum! Also, send Amy some get well soon messages. They might help!?
