It has been such a joy to be able to experience the many milestones babies/toddlers have during their early years. Katarina has been on target (if not advanced) on many of them. Dina has always been a stickler from day on about brushing Katarina's baby teeth. All of sudden, though, Katarina does NOT want Mommy brushing her teeth for her. She knows she's a "big" girl and insists on using the toothbrush on her own. I know that the "What to Expect the Toddler Years" book says this is about the age where toddlers start to learn how to use the toothbrush on their own, but it's just one more thing Mommy & Daddy won't have to do for her! It's making Dina a little sad how quickly time flies and how much the princess has grown up since they've brought her home!
Yesterday we took Katarina to see Thomas the Tank Engine at the Roaring Camp Railroad. The drive to Felton was fairly easy and we scheduled everything perfectly. There was so much to do! If we would have known all the things they would have there, we would have made a complete day out of it. Well, we didn't get to stay all day anyways since we had a birthday party to go to in the afternoon. Katarina napped all the way home and enjoyed seeing Thomas!
An easy way we decided to celebrate Jeff's birthday was to have it at a pizza parlor. Round Table just opened up across the freeway from the house, so this was a perfect opportunity to use their party room! Once again, Jeff was spoiled with many "manly" gifts and money! :) But, of course, Katarina stole the show and was the center of attention! Next year is the big 3-0!!! We're planning something BIG for that next year since both Mommy & Daddy will be "over the hill!" LOL!
