Today was Annalise’s 2nd birthday and we invited our travel group to a cake and ice cream party at Starbucks. They set aside a section of the restaurant. I played some music and all the kids played with balloons. We then did a unique song of Simons Says and Annalise loved the dancing and tried to do some of the hand movements. She just loves music. Then it was time for cake and we all sang happy birthday in English and then in Chinese. When we were done she looked around at everyone and realized this was all for her. She is the most amazing little girl with quite a fun and outgoing personality. She and I are a match made in heaven.
