Our Ladybug is FOUR!

Catherine turned 4 on Oct 24th- unbelievable. It's shocking to think that it's already been 4 years since she instantly made our lives better, more fun, full of love- making her grand entrance at 9 lbs, 3 oz, 21 inches long!

She declared several weeks ago that she wanted a "girls-only princess party". Uh, let me think about that.....OK!!! To be honest, she ended up changing her mind 2 days before the party, but by then I felt it was too late to make any changes. It was a preeeety quiet party, with only 6 girls (and 2 older sisters who arrived a bit later), but it was fun! I planned several activities, including "Pin the Crown on the Princess", a Princess coloring/glitter-glue station, a Fashion Show and a Royal Salon- which was by far the biggest hit.

Catherine was also able to take cupcakes into her class and share her big day with all 15 kids in her class. She picked chocolate cake with pink (strawberry) frosting- because pink is for girls. All in all, it was about a week-long celebration, with many princess dresses making their debut!

Our Catie-Bug the Ladybug (aka Jellybean, Babydoll, Stinkerbug, Lovebug) is quite the little lady now- she loves to wear dresses and look pretty. She is sensitive, talkative, polite and goofy. She insists that she is a big girl now and has really become quite social lately.

We are very proud of the person our little girl is becoming!
