Yes, you heard me. My darling first daughter has turned two. We have had two whole years of a girl being in this house. She is definately very girly, but a side effect of having 5 older brothers is that you thing you can take them on in anything and can act very much like them at times. (Even when mommy wishes she wouldn't copy them). We have had two years of pinks, purples, flowers, butterflies, baby dolls and all things girly. Now we are getting into doll houses, dress up clothes and tea sets (playones at least). I have learned so much about the differences in boys and girls these last two years. I have learned that girls LOVE clothes in much different ways than boys. We had her party on Sunday and she oo'd and ah'd everything she unwrapped. She loves to wear hats and change her clothes. I can't believe how many clothes we go thru in a day. If she spills something on her clothes (like water) she immediately must take it off and wants new clothes. She tries to dress herself and she ends up with some interesting outfits. We are looking to potty train her. In some ways she seems so ready and in others not so much, but then again the boys were not even close to being ready when they turned two. I will need to by a potty seat for her as the last few boys pretty much taught themselves by following there brothers example. This will be a new experience. Katie is very nurturing, wants to share with her brothers, wants to take care of her sister (although this doesn't always her mommy). She has been quite a joy and so much fun.
Happy birthday my precious Princess Katie! We love you very much.
