If it weren't for Julia, Tyler wouldn't be having a 2nd birthday party. Simply because he is happy with a worm in the garden, no need for a big party (and that would be much simpler!).
However, with no coaxing on my part, Julia is planning a party so I better get on board. She had chosen a theme with Tyler's input (Bob the Builder) and has an invite list. And here she is writing notes to two of her friends at preschool inviting them to come to the party and be the 'big kid helpers'. Oli has always been the 'big kid helper' at her parties so I guess she has fond memories of that. I cannot help but smile and be proud of her desire to make Tyler's birthday special, to be inclusive of her friends and to have the patience to write out this note (45 minutes!).
We'll continue to count down to Tyler's birthday (1 more day). She started 14 days ago, again on her own. And she has taught him to sing, "happy birthday to me".
