Madeline turned two years old! We started off the morning with her big surprise, a brand new tricycle (which actually wasn’t that hard to put together.) We also went to the Austin zoo, which is really more of a sanctuary than big city zoo. Sadly the big cat area was under renovations, but we managed to see plenty of giant turtles, pigs, reptiles, monkeys, birds, llamas, deer, chickens, bears, peacocks and goats. I think Madeline’s favorite thing at the zoo had to be feeding the goats. After she fed them she would say “yum yum!” We finished the evening with an Elmo cake that I made for her.
Madeline is already wearing 3T clothes and can count almost to 10. It is pretty impressive. She will be starting pre-school in the fall (two half days a week). More on that later. In the meantime, check out some photos of her birthday by clicking on the gallery below. (You can click on each photo to make it larger.)
