February 10

Happy second birthday, Eloise! Contrary to what people say, this year won't be that terrible at all. There will be a lot of drawing pictures, playing with LEGOs, reading books, and dancing to albums. There's a trip to Hawaii in the works and hopefully another Mammoth excursion, as well. I don't want to get your hopes up, but this might even be the year you get a haircut.

xoxo, your dad
