Yesterday, February 1st we celebrated Kaitlin's 3rd (yes...3rd) birthday! I really can't believe she is 3. How did that time go by so quickly?!? I say that, and it honestly feels like she has been with Jemahl and me forever.

I am one of the luckiest moms on the earth. Sure we have difficult moments in our day. But Kaitlin is truly the best daughter that I could ask for. She is full of JOY and LOVE. So sensitive, tender hearted so smart in many different ways and so imaginative. We just LOVE her to bits!

Some of Kaitlin's LOVES

Dora The Explorer and Go Diego Go - The adventures, the characters, the songs. Everything about Dora! She evens plays Dora. While I am fixing supper or cleaning the dishes Kaitlin isn't far from me and I hear snippets of her playing Dora....or Diego. This year we will be having a Dora birthday party adventure with some close friends and Kaitlin is so excited for this. She does not want to wait the 11 days.

Pretend play - Kitchen, cooking, cleaning, pretend makeup, dressing up (oh, this includes finding her Prince at a ball....usually Zach. Her pen pal!) and doctors.

Sarah - Okay, okay sometimes it's a love, hate relationship, but the way they play together and hug and kiss each other. Kaitlin adores her sis sis!

Ride on toys, running, jumping, swinging, sliding (...do you get it) - Kaitlin is a very active little girl. Rarely sitting still.

Books, puzzles and colouring/crafts - One those rare occasions that she does sit still these are her favorites. Mostly books...she LOVES reading them on her own and sitting with Jemahl or me and having a book read to her.

Toons (cartoons) - Already said Dora and Diego, But Cailliou and Max and Ruby top her fav list.

Building - Blocks, kid knex, forts.

Music - Well, really just making noise....all beautiful noise! Singing and finger plays. We are going to a Toddler time program that takes place at our library that bot Kaitlin and Sarah adore. Since starting 3 weeks ago, Kaitlin has been singing the songs and doing the actions too.
