amori turned 2 in manila and celebrated it with friends and lots of family (compared to the 5 family members she has here!). her birthday fell on the same day as my sister's wedding, so we had her party on sunday, the 13th of july. thank God for kid parties in manila - we had a fuss-free party at KFC in Jupiter St., and all we had to do was be there... of course that's unheard-of here where it's DIY all the way!
it was great to be around cousins, titos, titas, lolos, and lolas... something that we don't get on a regular basis.
the only bad part was Chuckie the KFC mascot. he scared the hell out of amori. to this day, she still says "scared Chuckie". LOL.
at 2 years old, amori:
- talks in 3-word sentences
- easily jumps, runs, crosses, and squeezes into playgrounds
- can remember what she can and cannot touch
- likes to draw and scribble
- knows that Play Doh cannot be eaten
- has food preferences (a.k.a. is a picky eater)
- peed in her potty once!
- likes looking at pictures, and recognizes familiar people in them
- still does not like any kind of meat
- knows which key and fob to use for the front door
- is addicted to ketchup
- always asks "what's this?"
- hums and does the actions to "wheels on the bus", "itsy bitsy spider", and "twinkle, twinkle, little star"
- can eat, and prefers to eat by herself, and does it with minimal spills too!
the list goes on and on... but i'm not about to bore you with it! =)
who would have thought 2 years would pass this quickly?
