Sofia turned 2 today. It is amazing how quickly time passes, we thought she was just lying in our arms just a while ago and all that matters was milk, milk and more milk. Now Sofia has grown into an toddler and is fiercely gaining independence as each day goes by. She would want to help us pay at the cashier after we finish shopping at the supermarket. She would also want a share in carrying the groceries just like us, never mind that the plastic bag is so big that she drags it along the floor. We guess this is all part of growing up though it is purely an imitation our actions and speech.
We had a very simple celebration, bought a cake, went to the playground and sang her a birthday song with all her playground kakis. Not sure what got into her, she was so uptight with all the attention and stuck to me the whole time.
We had great difficulty trying to lit the candles as it was a super windy evening. But even after the candles was lited, it was the older kids and me who blew it out for her, Sofia was trying to grab the candles with her bare hands again!
We doubt very much she knew what was going on, perhaps it would make more sense to throw a proper party when she turns 3? Well, let's see.
