CS,
your D is going to be two. kids that age all go to school, daycare. What you should do is have her go to daycare, ask the moderators/aids what is a safe treat to bring into school for all the kids to celebrate her bday.
Then you plan something for that weekend for her when you have her.

Quote:
I am thinking of telling her that I will take a half day off work so she doesn't have to worry about taking the day off of work.

More rescuing here. I wouldn't do it.

Side thought, if you are scheduled to have you D2 on her bday then invite over your family and friends for a little cake.
