My favourite niece turns 2 today. She said she wanted a Barney picture on her cake but the adults gave her something else instead. It's so sad being a kid and celebrating your birthday with an adult cake (ie, no cartoon pictures). But she should count herself lucky. You people should really see how she's treated at my grandma's on Sundays. Strutting around like a princess already.
It sucks not being able to be present for the kiddo's birthday for another 2 years. But I guess, by then, she would have already made some friends from kindergarten/playschool and my sister wouldn't have to ask the relatives to substitute as friends. x)
