It's THE day!!! It's her birthday!!

Happy Birthday to Ar!! Happy Birthday to Ar!!

Hello everyone,

I hope you are having a wonderful day! It is the day we've been waiting for (or were we?), Ar is 2!! She now had 2 candles to blow.

She knew something was up today and she kept saying "happy happy". :D

I can't believe the time just flew by...and yes, I'll say this every year! We just don't want our kids to grow; because we love them so much when they are young, not to say that we don't when they are older. It's just something about infants/toddlers/preschoolers that is just too adorable and innocent and beautiful.

Growing up brings so much challenges and changes in the child. Some changes are good and some are not too good?!? For example, the child(ren) will finally say "I love you" (good change), and they will also call you "mean" (not so good change).

Nonetheless, I can't imagine who Ar grows to be and I am so confident in my upbringing that I know, I'll be proud of her day after day.

Today, I was happy and sad. Happy because she's growing up and sad because she's growing up. :P

No seriously, I was happy because I am so thankful to God that He gifted me such a gorgeous, beautiful and adorable daughter. She's the best thing/person that God EVER gifted me, after my husband of course.

I was sad because she was growing up and that she's going to be independent and that she'll go away one day. :( Not that being independent is wrong and I don't like independence, in fact, I am a strong believer of independence. I'd love my daughter to be independent, but I don't know what it is. And of course, I'll be happy when she's happily married and living in her own house, but I'll miss her.

Oh well, that's years and years away but just thinking about it makes me tear up. My love for her is something I've never experienced before, NEVER! (well of course, she's my first child, so obviously I wouldn't have). It's like when I think of her deeply, I tear up like in even less than a minute and I get a lump in my throat and I want to cry. It's just that kind of love. I don't know if this is something every parent feels or I'm just overacting, but it is true!

Anyway, as you can see in the picture, we just had her blow out 2 candles and we just cut a plain cake to celebrate the day she was born. On this very day, I was, unfortunately and sadly, not feeling too well to dress her up and just make it a little special. But you, and I, both know her party is coming up and I will make up to her. So, we'll just have to wait. ;) :P

Till then, ENJOY EVERY MOMENT WITH YOUR CHILD(REN), they won't be like this forever!! Oh, and if you're looking for games to play with your child(ren), I have this post where I suggest 3 games. I will upload another game soon, so stay in touch. 

Good night.
