Emmett Is Two!

Emmett is two! His birthday was Thursday, and you know what? Yeah, there's a quarantine going on. He couldn't have grandparents or cousins or friends at his party. We couldn't go to the carrousel or the gondola or even the park (everything's closed)...but he couldn't have cared less. He had a GREAT day. His dad stayed home from work, he woke up to balloons all over the floor in the living room, he got chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast, we went for a big family walk, he got some new toys, he blew out candles, and he got to eat ice cream and cake with sprinkles. He was so happy all day and kept saying "it's my happy birthday to you!" I love the simplicity of toddlers and how they can get excited over such small things. Emmett at two is a real joy. He is running and jumping constantly. He's strong and tough--when he falls down or gets hurt, he is quick to jump up and say "I'm ok!" He loves to sing and has many songs memorized. He knows his colors and can count to ten! His vocabulary is really impressive--and not just in English. He is learning Chinese from my mom and really picking it up. His number one insult is calling you a big bad wolf. He's very gentle with his baby sister and loves to give her "tisses." He really enjoys puzzles and is quite good at them. He has the brightest smile and the deepest brown eyes. He has such a generous heart and is always quick to share. He loves vehicles of all kinds. And so many more things I want to remember. We love him so much!!!! Here are a few photos from his day.
