Turning Two

Roscoe Jane (aka: New York Baby) is not a baby at all! She turned two last week and is now officially a “big girl" with an exploding vocabulary and a sunny disposition.  Ed and I travelled to Brooklyn to celebrate with her. 

For her birthday, Roscoe was joined by her friends, her friends' parents, her parents, and all four grandparents at Vivid Kid, a Red Hook photography studio owned by friends who were happy to provide a large space for small kids to run around and have fun in. The afternoon was filled with letter writing (cards, envelopes, crayons, stickers and stamps provided), balloon inflating, sandwich and cake eating, and lots and lots of giggling. I overheard more than one parent say: "this is the best kid party ever."

Meanwhile across the Atlantic Ocean, Uncle Jack and Aunt Kasia have been busy making another board book in an on-going series. See previous ones here, here and here. This one featured the sounds of Farm Dover.  Take a peek:




Roscoe loves making all the sounds of Farm Dover. 


Can't wait to see how she grows this next year from a "big girl" to an "even bigger girl." 

Roscoe, you are loved by so many, near and far. 
Happy 2nd Birthday.
