Happy Birthday Alien!

So the Alien is two today!

According to Dr. Harvey Kemp the Alien is technically now a Caveman (well Cavewoman, girl?) due to her reaching toddlerhood. But for the sake of the blog, and all seven readers I am choosing to keep the Alien an Alien.

She did have a marvelous birthday party, with cake (Costco does a really good job and it had cheesecake filling OMG so good), and pool party. We actually have my brother in law, his wife and four year old visiting so the Caveman has spent a ton of time at Grandma's house enjoying running around with Cousin Rusty. I almost feel bad that I did do more for the Alien's birthday, but with working, planning my next FPU session, and school there isn't enough hours in the day to do everything. Do moms that stay at home always bake homemade cakes and arrange for balloon animal artists to come to birthday parties. Probably some, I just think that a two year old doesn't needs all of that. In fact the birthday party is for the grown up acknowledging that we have kept this child alive for another year.

I still can't believe she is two, a walking, almost talking, little person with big personality. The Alien likes to climb on everything, throws a proper temper tantrum if she doesn't get her way, and loves her stuffed bunny "Baby." More importantly she is just like a little burst of sunshine, the happiest baby (well toddler now, wow) on my block. Well she is sunshine until she has a temper tantrum or poops.

The Caveman is completely confused about celebrating birthdays not on the day of the actual birthday. When Big Papi and I wished the Alien happy birthday, the Caveman proclaimed "What? She gets another one!" But, he gave her a hug and a kiss which she screamed yuck and ran out of the room. The Caveman chased after her screaming "Stop evil emperor Zurg" and the day slips into normal.
