Bella turns 2

This was the second event of the day. The second event involving cake. The second of three events planned for this day. Sept 28. Talia basically was a zombie at her (late) soccer game. The coach played her the ENTIRE hour...to test her will? to see if she'd ever perk up? to teach her a lesson? Who knows. 30 minutes into the game where Talia stood and ate her shirt collar, I started giving her sips of my Diet Coke. Didn't help. So then we go to Bella's birthday party where soccer star decides to rev up. She danced and played and sang and climbed and _________ (insert other action verbs) for the entire 90 minutes. Where was that at the soccer game? Anyway, this party rocked. Julie won the party by submitting a picture of Bella to the Parents magazine, so it was free, but it would have been worth any amount of money. The high school girls sang and played the whole time, they cleaned up, they provided everything. All we did was show up. Nice.
