Today we celebrated Purim & Millie's 2nd birthday all at the same time! It was a bit hectic but a great day. We were blessed with the company of the Shaws of Ramat Beit Shemesh and the Wachtels of Manhattan, previously of Ramat Beit Shemesh too. For desert, we made Millie an Elmo party with a bubble machine, pin the nose on Elmo and a Sesame Street Pinata. The kids all totally OD'd on the chocolate fondue, and most of them abandoned the idea of dipping marshmallows or strawberries into the hot chocloate sauce, and just used their fists!

So, Millie is now 2. She is getting taller and cleverer by the day. She has begun to speak sentences so long and sophisticated that I have finally stopped counting if its a 4 word or 5 word sentence. She totally gets the difference between 'me' and 'I' and uses them perfectly. She also knows how to use the word 'please' to get exactly what she wants! Today, after her party, I took her up for a bath. She was having a great time but after a while I said "ok Millie, time to come out". She looked and me and said "No, Mimi not coming out, I playing a bath, pleeease mummy". Who could refuse?
Here are Millie's very clean feet after her bath....
