Time Flies

Time flies when you are having fun, and even when you aren't.  I can't believe I haven't posted in such a long time.  Caitlyn is fast approaching her 4th birthday.  So hard to believe 4 years ago I was pregnant and anxiously awaiting the arrival of my precious angel.  Caitlyn is learning so much in her school- they do math and science, a little spanish and every once in awhile she throws some of her baby sign back at me.  Becoming a parrot is her new thing.  She loves to repeat my words, although, repeating hers is not recommended.  She tells me "Mommy, no repeat my words" in a very serious and matter of fact tone of voice. 

Picking out clothes is becoming more of a challenge with my independent, "I can do it myself" child.  We have started alternating days- "you choose yesterday, mommy.  I choose today"  Some days get vetoed as she would love to wear summery dresses and flip flops if I let her. 

Part of our independence is having a say in our birthday party.  Strict instructions of having only 3 boys-Jacob, Brendan, and mommy's friend's boy (Seth) are the only ones allowed.  She won't even allow any of the boys from her class to come.  The girls list isn't much longer but must include her best friends: Sadie and Rylee Roo. 

gotta run...post more later
