After playing with those for a while, we drove out to McCoy's Pumpkin Patch so we could pick out a few carving pumpkins and some decorative pumpkins. Sophia really enjoyed running around on a beautiful fall morning choosing pumpkins and enjoying the sights.
I should have known that she wasn't feeling well because she really didn't want to have much to do with her birthday. She wouldn't let us sing Happy Birthday to her (and we're not THAT bad) and she kept saying that she was all done with her birthday. So I shouldn't have been surprised when she woke up from a very short nap with a fever and a severe lack of energy.
So the Pirate Party that I had planned for the evening was significantly downsized since our friends with babies wisely chose not to come. By the time the party started, Sophia was feeling much better and had a great time. I felt sorry for Sophia since she didn't get to see all of her friends on her birthday, but with a sick and somewhat touchy toddler, it probably turned out better for everyone.
Sunday was spent relaxing and cooking for the week. My parents stopped by for the afternoon to celebrate the birthday. Here she is reading their card.
Sophia ended up having a great birthday weekend, I think. Part of me can't believe that she's two, but she has acted two for so long in so many ways that it's really just a technical change.
Here's to another year of fun and changes for our two-year-old!
