The Bruiser

Dear Phoebe,

Happy Birthday! Now you are 2 years old. The year has flown by hasn't it? Another awesome time at the Ambrosio house! And guess what? I was actually on time. I know! I am so proud of myself. I walked in however to find that you were sleeping and had accidentally smashed your finger in the door. Your parents told me it was because you were sleepy, apparently you lose motor skills when this happens : ( Hope your finger is OK. 

Most of the time you were sleeping, but hey there's nothing wrong with that. Get your beauty sleep girl. There were a whole bunch of kids playing in your backyard and your parents even rented a jumper. They also had a sundae station where the kids could make there own with waffle cone bowls and special toppings. When you did wake up, your hair was a little messy and you looked bleary eyed, but were not grouchy as most kids are when they wake up from a nap. We crowned you with a special birthday hat and once we gave you some juice you were ready to go. According to your Auntie Aida, you are a huge juice-aholic. As long as it's Trader Joe's juice I'm all for it. Those juice boxes are addicting. May I add I love coming over to your parties cause I know you mom likes to serve those for the kids.

You didn't miss all the action though the giveaways were one of the most popular things: Bubbles! Your mom was blowing bubbles in you backyard and you were going crazy looking at em. You were so excited jumping up and down and clapping your hands. At first no one could get the bubble wand out, so I had to help. Everyone was blowing bubbles.

I hope you like the gift. Auntie Aida said that you took that big stuff dog put it in a choke hold and slammed it in the ground. She said you are freakishly strong for a 2 year old. I totally missed that. But I am definitely impressed. She likes to call you a bruiser. And I've seen you in action. Your feistiness only is getting stronger. One time you at my house and Josh was running with a ball, you were holding on to him while chasing him, practically being dragged. When you'd get the ball you'd roll on it belly side like some kinda pilates move. It was pretty hilarious.

Another funny moment was at Easter you had this pretty dress on but while eating a cupcake you got icing all over yourself. Lola Linda gave you a Nefful shirt to wear. I dunno if it will be still around when you get older, but Nefful is the new fam craze. It's suppose to give you negative ions and heal all kinds of things. Don't ask me to explain ask Lola Linda. Anyway, your mom wanted to put some clothes on ya, but you kept running around and didn't want to. However, you did want to wear your colorful Easter hat still. Your mom said you looked like a crazy homeless baby, all for laughs though. 

Anyway, I hope you had a good birthday!

Love,
