Thank you for the birthday wishes. It was a somewhat strange day but nice one. I am probably very childish in this regard, but I love birthdays. For the birthday present I've got two coats from my husband - in one I look like an elegant lady, in other one I look like a young girl. We couldn't choose, so we ended up with both. At 33 I want to be an elegant lady, but sometimes with the ability to turn into a girl. I wonder if I should try to buy alcohol in that coat...

There was lots of food, and a cake, and we watched for the first time ever "When Harry met Sally." P only agreed to watch in because of my birthday, but he liked it after all.

Going back in reporting my celebrations, two week ago we had our ten year wedding anniversary, which we spent at Great Wolf Lodge, where I indulged my inner five-year old by splashing around, feeling slightly scared on giant water slides, playing silly arcades and picking up horse chestnuts. On the other hand, the idea that I have been married for ten years is freaking me out. How did it happen? Where did all this time go?

and a month ago I became a motehr of a two-year old. It is a strange and terryfying experience. D is way more interesting to be around, but also way more exhausting. I am looking forward to my mom's visit to let her take care of him for a couple of weeks. D. is still mostly talking in some unrecognizable language, but we get more and more attempts at human words and sentences. HE also learned some numbers and some letters. He knows the following letters: A, O, M, T, K and "Badyu-Badyu". He also knows if he takes M and turns in upside down, he gets "Badyu-Badyu".

Overall, life is not not bad, but very tiring.

Doggonit! I knew I'd forgotten something. Happy Belated Birthday, m'dear!

Happy birthday! I love birthdays, too. (It's extra bad because I'm bad about other people's, but really love my own.)

We celebrated our ten year anniversary at the beginning of this year. It's such an intimidating number. You think, ten years, where did the time go? Somehow the wedding anniversary reminds me more of the passage of time than my birthdays do.

You should post a picture of the coats. :-)

Thank you! The photos of coats with me in them is a good idea. Will do.

"Somehow the wedding anniversary reminds me more of the passage of time than my birthdays do."

exactly. I can ignore my age, but not the number of years I've been married. Especially when it's so round

Happy Belated Birthday!

Two years is very exhausting but it gets easier from there.

Thank you!

Now I think that the first months were easiest of all. Now, on the other hand it is way more fun.

It keeps getting more fun, and it helps a lot when they don't seem intent on killing themselves every five minutes any more.

I try to keep myself sane by reminding myself at every moment that I managed to survive to adulthood all the bumps and bruises notwithstanding

Sounds perfectly lovely. :)

[avrelia.livejournal.com]

It was! ;)

Happy belated birthday, dear A!!! Many happy returns!

I'm glad to hear you had good celebrations.

Badyu-Badyu is hilarious.

What color are the coats? :)

Thank you!

One coat is black. the other one is brown, with plaid pattern. Both are knee-length. D now points at them at say "Пато!", when we are getting ready for a walk. ;)
