Katy is 4!

February 1st, 2007 was a crazy day at the TPC golf tournament, ending in the birth of our little princess Katy. Since not many of our family would be around on her actual birthday, we had a little party for her Monday night and gave her her new bike from her grandparents. She loved it! It only took a short while for her to figure out pedaling.

The next morning, we all gave her 4 "sweet" spankings before going our separate ways for the day. She and I headed to the grocery store first thing to pick up balloons for her party. She invited all the little girls in her Sunbeam class. Mom's were welcome to stay with their siblings as well so I think we ended up having 15 or 16 little ones 4 or under. They all behaved so well! Mostly they just played. We opened gifts, made pretty papers and had cake and ice cream. It was a really fun time and we are so lucky to have so many good little girls to be friends with.

That night, Katy decided she wasn't wearing pull-ups to bed anymore. We got out the water proof crib sheet and put it on her bed along with a change of PJ's right next to her for when she needed them. She woke me up at 4 am so I told her to get her dry clothes on and she very emphatically told me "I'm not peein' in them!" She was dry! She went potty and then crawled into bed with me. I'm not naive enough to think this will be a permanent thing, but a good start. What an awesome little girl. Happy Birthday Princess Katy!!
