Two!

Sylvie's party was really cute. Kim and Tim brought a slew of pink and green baloons, Joey and I decorated the back with pink crepe paper streamers and shots of Sylvie's two year old photo shoot.







Noni made an ADORABLE cake with marshmallow bunnies and Sylvie spelled out in m&ms. Everyone LOVED the cake!















Sylvie loved her new trike and the new Doll that she promptly placed in the trunk of the new trike ;)
(see doll peeking out of trunk at left)













Overall it was a very good day! I can't beleive that our girl is two.

Lawrence Welk

Last night was a very special mommy moment for me.

Most every night that I put Sylvie to bed I sing two songs to her. One is the goodnight song from Donnie and Marie:


May Tomorrow
Be a perfect day
May you find love and laughter along the way
May God keep you
In his tender care
'Til he brings us together again
GOOD NIGHT EVERYBODY!

It has been etched in my brain since I was 7 and was a favorite at many a slumber party. Sylvie likes this one but the second one is her favorite....

The second one is the goodnight theme from Lawrence Welk:

Good night
Sleep tight
and pleasant dreams, to you
Here's a wish
and a prayer
Let every dream come true
AND NOW 'til we meet again
Adios, Au Revoir, Avederzein
GOOD NIGHT!

Last night Sylvie totally sang this one with me for the first time. It was so sweet with her little two year-old head on my shoulder and her little voice in my ear. She really started in on the AND NOW part and she totally said Adios (maybe because of Dora). It was a tender moment.

Obviously, I was raised around a TV and I know I watched alot of Lawrence Welk at my grandmother's house. The results are that I can sing along with most any standard and I totally know how to fake a smile while swaying back and forth ala sweeney sisters. Now Sylvie will share in a small part of that with me. Mew
