24 Month Old Sleeping Beauty Toddler Photos

She is a gorgeous 2 year old Sleeping Beauty!

She like the fountain!

Wanted to touch all of the roses, but we were at a public rose garden so I tried to keep her from grabbing them.

One of the gardeners cut a rose just for her to match her dress and brought it over to give to her. She is watching him walk away here!
