Happy Birthday, Thing 1!

Yesterday was Thing 1's second birthday! I was so busy looking for chocolate cake crumbs that I didn't get a chance to post this picture yesterday. Thing 1 had a great day. I'm not very happy with her birthday presents though. She got a kitchen and she seems to enjoy pretending to cook and licking the plastic ice cream cone. However, I am not enjoying all the pretend food. Why can't the Alphas let her play with real food? I'm very good at helping her clean up. She got another troubling toy, too. An animated stuffed dog. Am I getting replaced?
