Kaitlyn's Birthday


Kaitlyn turned three before I was ready for her to turn three. A few days before her third birthday I started randomly going through her baby pictures. It seems just like yesterday she learned how to walk. Now she is sprouting off sentences left and right.

It was decided that since I felt she wasn't ready for a birthday party, that we would get together with her cousins and spend a few hours at the zoo. Kaitlyn absolute loves the zoo, but this trip was different then all the others. She is a very shy little girl and has to have mommy or daddy nearby. We went to the park and it took little persuasion to get her run off and play at the park with her cousins. I was in total shock. She had grown into this little independent girl who was slowly getting rid of mommy's apron strings.

Her birthday was a success except that I forgot to take pictures of her blowing out her cupcake. We did manage to get it all over my mother in laws van. Oops. It was the first birthday that wasn't overly stressful for me or for her.
