My, how things have changed!

Katey's room is FINALLY finished! She has been very patient and it has paid off.......we are thrilled with her new "big girl" bed, duvet, etc.! We've come a long way since the crib, then day bed, and now a room fit for a princess.

No school!

School is closed this week so today went to Busch Gardens with Anthony, Katey's friend from school and his Mom, Sita. We ran around for 3 hours and got out of there before the major crush of the crowd. Katey's going to miss Anthony next year because he starts kindergarten at a new school. :(

Self Portrait

Katey whipped this out as we were waiting for gymnastics to start yesterday. While it's not one of her normal majorly colorful drawings, the significance (to me) is that is the first time she's drawn herself with "Asian" hair......I thought it was kind of cool.

Hoochie Coochie Dance

Today was the end-of-the-year program and Katey's teacher wanted her to sing a solo. The "problem" arose when Katey realized that if she sang the solo, she wouldn't be able to do "the dance" with the other girls. The song was "itsy bitsy teeny weeny yellow polka dot bikini." The dance is what I refer to as the "hoochie coochie" and I wasn't totally thrilled with it. BUT, I figured for 2-3 minutes I could bear it. It was funny, and Katey was awfully adorable, so I survived.......I'm sure I'll have many more "worse" things to survive in the years to come so I'd better get used to it! :)

Move over Nadia!

We've had a busy weekend. Friday night we went to Princesses on Ice (the Flounder hat came with a big ole bag of cotton candy), Saturday morning Katey and Ty (our friend from school) had their first gymnastics class and then Mommy and Greg went to a wedding. Mommy is ready to do a whole lot of nothing today......well, besides grocery shopping, cleaning, laundry and the usual daily fare. Here are a few pictures......gotta document it all! :)

The first recital...

Today was Katey's first dance recital. She and her fellow bumble bees "danced" to Sugar Sugar by The Archies. We were #3 in the program.......one of my friend's child was #15, another, #22. We buzzed out of there as soon as Katey was finished!

Public Service Announcement.......

Katey would like to remind you what will happen if you don't remember to brush your teeth!!!
