We had a fabulous Wonder Pets birthday party on Saturday (the 2nd) with close family and friends. I made them a chocolate sheet cake decorated like the Flyboat, and they hauled in a great lot of presents. (Including two Linnies, two Ming-Mings and two Tucks. Hurrah!) The boons (balloons) were a big hit, along with anything featuring the “pets”.
The stats:
Sleep: 11-13 hours at night, 2-3 hour nap each day.
Food: Chloe’s loving anything spicy these days, or anything that she can extract from the refrigerator herself. Don’t ask about the toothmarks on the apples in the fruit drawer, please. I just keep inspecting the fruit and make fruit salad pretty regularly. It helps that Emma’s on a fruititarian kick, forgoing such former favorites as mac n’ cheese and french fries in favor of dinners consisting entirely of apples and peaches.
Teeth: Both at 16 and holding (until those dreaded 2-year-molars show up.)
Apparel: 24 month clothes, size 5 shoes, size 4 dipes.
Dimensions: Emma’s 29 lbs and 33.5 inches, Chloe is 26 lbs and 34 inches.
Words: Chloe – punky (pumpkin), soft, shirt, pants, boon (balloon). Emma – “he did it”, nonononono, sit.
Likes: Chloe – one extra hug at bedtime, the Wonder Pets, running away from me down the sidewalk while laughing maniacally. Emma – her (young, male) gymnastics coach, answering any question with “No” (she got the memo that she’s two, apparently), making jokes (all 4-legged animals say Neigh.)
Dislikes: Chloe – the carseat, having to hold hands in the parking lot. Emma – waiting for anything, having fewer than two of any item.
