Katie's 4th Birthday!!

Again, I'm late with this post, but atleast I got to it before she turned 5!!

On Friday, October 9 our baby girl turned 4!! It is so hard to believe that it has been 4 wonderful years since she was born. She is honeslty the most beautiful, precious little girl that we could have ever hoped to have. In our opinion she is brilliant, she is kind, gentle, caring, compassionate, loving, and most important of all she is HAPPY and HEALTHY!!

She started going to preschool in mid-September. It is perfect for her. She is excelling so much, it's amazing the amount of information that she has taken in, in just a few weeks time. Just in time for her birthday she memorized two poems, really the same poem, but two different versions. She recited them for us on her birthday, they are as follows:

"In September
For a while
I will ride a crocodile
Down the chicken soupy Nile.

Paddle once,
Paddle twice,
Paddle chicken soup with rice!!"

"In October,
I'll be host
To witches, goblins
And a ghost.

Whoope once,
Whoopy twice,
Whoopy chicken soup with rice."

Since her birthday fell on a school day we baked her a batch of sugar cookies to take and share with her classmates. She also got a birthday crown that she got to wear, and she hardly took it off the whole weekend! That night for dinner we took her to one of her favorite places for dinner, Mc Robins (Red Robin for those of us who don't speak toddler-ese). The sang to her and gave her a free ice cream treat in honor of her special day.
