It Has Been Called A Zoo!

We sent photos through Kodak Gallery today of Kaitlyn's birthday party yesterday. Here is a link if you have not seen them: http://www.kodakgallery.com/ShareLandingSignin.jsp?Uc=hhuz2tp.7piqm1bp&Uy=-bdjonn&Upost_signin=Slideshow.jsp%3Fmode%3Dfromshare&Ux=0&UV=643329384245_840074896405

Before I describe a little more about the party, I would like to write about a few things Kaitlyn is doing now before I forget. She is picking up a lot and I wonder what we can put in front of her next so she can pick it up! She loves her books and Dr. Seuss is the favorite right now, especially, Hop on Pop! They show a family and she can point out and say mommy, daddy, sister, brother. Yeah! We also have caught her reading to herself and says tall and small for the pages that show tall and small people. I am noticing her starting to put a sentence together like, "I play."

So moving on to the party, it was from 3 pm to 5 pm and this was a good time. Kaitlyn woke up at 2:30 and just loved the decorations of zoo animals. She was excited to greet her guests and put the presents on the table. She then ran around and showed her friends how to play with her toys. Although, she chased some down to have them back or wanted a book back. She just stared when we sang happy birthday, but blew out her candles when it came time. She loved the cake and ate a lot of it. She didn't like the incredible punch. The activity was making little zoo animal lunch sack puppets. A couple of kiddos liked that, but the rest just wanted to play. It was pretty funny when we tried to get 11 kids to take picture. They were running everywhere. And then one had a dirty diper and it cleared the room for sure! Perfect timing!

We then went to The Purple Cow for dinner with Kaitlyn's friends Kali, Jake and Abby. Jake and Kaitlyn played the whole time. Kaitlyn even shared her fries with him.



Kaitlyn went to bed at 8 pm, but didn't fall asleep until 10:30 pm. I think she was a little over-stimulate. Just a bit.

Today, she took a three hour nap and will go to bed early for sure. We are gearing up for a family party next weekend and look forward to playing!
