Poppy celebrated her birthday this weekend with family. She had a fun time! Although she wasn’t very interested in presents or even the cake, she did enjoy the balloons. Today, she moved up a room at school. She sleeps on a mat and eats food at a table like a big girl. It just doesn’t seem possible that she should be able to do these things. She has done well with the transition to toddler, but she will always be our baby! Happy birthday, Poppy! We love you!

The girls started a new day care at the beginning of March and Poppy’s room is right across the hall from Piper’s. Let me tell you, Poppy is a big deal in the two-year-old room. Whenever I go to pick them up, almost all of Piper’s friends come over to the gate and start asking to see Poppy. They ask for her by name. Of course, Piper is usually happy to show her off.
