23 months!

Our not-so-little girl is 23 months old today. You know what that means? That means she's almost 2. That also means that mama has been slacking on birthday party planning and needs to really get down to it and figure everything out.
Our little Sasha is such a bright little girl, she loves her alphabet and numbers puzzles, she can easily name about 2/3 of the alphabet. She can count to 5, then skips 6, says 7 and then 10. It's really rather amusing. She says 2-words sentences (and once said a simple 3-word sentence: "auu kva, chai!" - "here, froggy, [have some] tea"). And she now says about 85 words. She wants to do everything by herself, she wants to help with just about everything. She's becoming such a big girl!
And all day today, she's been using the toilet! Granted I caught her peeing twice and plopped her on the toilet to finish, but a few times she actually went up to the bathroom and did her thing all by herself!! I was so ridiculously proud of her! She did wear diapers for her nap and when we had friends over, but the rest of the time it was big-girl undies, yay Sasha! We're prepping for hardcore potty training this weekend, which does not promise to be any fun for anybody involved. I'll update on how it goes later.
But yeah, an almost two years old.... Didn't we just celebrate her first birthday?? Sheesh, anyone know of a way to stop time (or at least slow it down)?
