Tannis Turns Two!




Tannis turned two years old today and we celebrated with a backyard birthday party... we had 22 people over and kept the kids busy with a wading pool in the backyard and a slip-and-slide. Tannis had fun although I'm not sure she really understood that this day was all about HER. We got her a cake that had a centerpiece on it of Barbie riding a pegasus (Tannis loves horses) and she carried that centerpiece around with her for the rest of the day.



Brad was surprisingly un-jealous about her getting all the presents (we kept reminding him that his birthday was coming up next week) and allowed her to open them by herself at first... then started trying to "help her" and of course, wanted to play with all her new toys too!

We also took her soother (Canadian for pacifier) away from her today... the pediatrician told us she should give it up at 2 years old... so we went cold turkey. I hid them all (from Colin too who loves to pop it in her mouth when she cries!) so the soother-addict is no more. (I'll have to say I'll miss how she always liked the soother handle turned up so it was resting under her nose.)
