Terrific twos! Drew Barrymore keeps up the pace with her birthday girl Frankie during a fun-filled day at the park
Drew Barrymore announced she was divorcing Will Kopelman three weeks ago but this day was all about the birthday girl.
The mother-of-two appeared relatively relaxed as she enjoyed a playdate at the park on Friday with her daughter Frankie, who turned two years old on that day.
It appeared to be the best break-up therapy there is too judging by the smile on Drew's face as she chased her little one across a grassy field in New York's Central Park.

Drew demonstrated that those so-called 'terrible twos' - encompassing a child's transition from clingy baby to independent toddler - can be terrific.
Drew was comfortably dressed in trendy ripped jeans with a loose white sweatshirt and purple trainers, which provided some much needed bounce to keep up with her quick-footed little girl.
A wide-brimmed hat and tinted shades shielded the fair-skinned star from the bright sunshine.
Frankie looked fashion-forward in an 'I Love London' T-shirt with grey leggings and purple Mary Jane-style trainers.

The child's light blonde hair was styled in pigtails with a few escaping strands in back.
At one point, Drew got a chance to chat with some friends in the park while keeping an eye on her daughter.
Drew was equally at ease on Wednesday as she emerged with both Frankie and her three-year-old tot Olive for an outing.

On Tuesday, the former ET star looked festive as she celebrated her May cover issue of Good Housekeeping at an event in New York City.
Drew paired a Topshop long flowered skirt with a white collared blouse, a wide black belt and pointed black pumps.
The former child star and her art consultant husband Will Kopelman announced their split on April 2 after four years of marriage and two children together.

'Sadly our family is separating legally, although we do not feel this takes away from us being a family,' the couple said in a joint statement.
'Divorce might make one feel like a failure, but eventually you start to find grace in the idea that life goes on.'
The parents added: 'Our children are our universe and we look forward to living the rest of our lives with them as the first priority.'
