Caitlin & Christian's World

I’m FOUR years old today and I’m BIG!!! Did you know the Earth moved FOUR times around the Sun since I was born?? That’s ALOT of times!
We celebrated my birthday at school and also at Jump Bunch with some of my bestest friends! Then we loaded ourselves with sugar from all the cakes and treats and ran around the ceiling and walls. I think Mommy & Daddy needs some sugar too coz they looked real tired, but happy!

We took a lil’ hiking trip today in the morning around we ran off the beaten path and started exploring around the nature park just like Dora!
We packed food, drink, snacks, diapers, extra clothes, cameras, flashlights (in case we got lost overnight), fruit, maps, and everything else that we could think of. There was ALOT of care in putting everything into the backpack coz we didn’t want Daddy to squish anything since he was the one carrying it all.

Told ya we were going to the circus!!! We spent the afternoon at a Big Top Circus watching elephants, horses, dogs, acrobats, clowns, and even camels performs circus tricks and performing all sorts of high-flying acts!! It was Christian and my first time at the circus and it was soo amazing we didn’t even have to go to the potty!

The best part was the blue cotton candy that we devoured and Alex the Clown! I think I’m his biggest fan now!

After a month of waiting coz we kept getting rain, snow, and muggy weather over the last few weekends, we FINALLY got to take our kite out flying!!
I almost didn’t want to do it coz I was afraid I might just take off with it, even with Christian hanging onto me. So Daddy put a coupla pebbles in my pocket so I would be just that little heavier!

Kite flying is FUN!! We watched Daddy and Mommy teach us the finer points of aerodynamics and how to fly a kite into a tree. Then we took over and played tug-o-war with it until our kite died. We had even more fun with trailing the ribbons from the kite’s tail as we went to the playground after that!

Tomorrow, we’re going to see the CIRCUS!!!

Daddy tried out a new camera today when we spent the day at the park! In fact we went to TWO different parks, once before I went for chinese class, and again after I got back!. Needless to say, we were soooo pooped out we went to bed at 7pm. Sharp.

Also, Christian ran around soooo much he killed his shoes. Both of them too! And they were almost brand new too! Check out the last two pictures!

We spent the morning at the local farmer’s market! Daddy also assembled a wagon that Mommy bought and Caitlin and I trooped in gleefully! We bought a whole bunch of stuff like, strawberries, pears, Mexican tomatoes, cilantro, chilies,plums, nectarines, bananas, and other stuff I can’t pronounce! When we got home, we played in our home-made sandpit (FINALLY!!) and then we had a quick dinner before it started freezing again when the sun set. :\

I had my first ever ballet performance today and Mommy & Daddy came by to cheer me on!!
It was awesome fun and even though I was a little nervous, a wink and a smile from them made everything just better!!!

OMG!!! It’s been snowing ALL day today! Our school closed early and we don’t have any school tomorrow either. We got about a little over a foot of snow, and that’s a big person foot, not mine!

Daddy came home early and we got all bundled up to try and make our very first snowman!!!!
It ended up looking more like a snow-midget but we had fun anyway! And then after that, we had some hot chocolate as we got out of really soggy clothes!! Inside the house of course!

We finally made a trip to the Dallas North Park Mall to ‘run around and get all tired so that we’d sleep by 7pm on a weekend’ according to Daddy.
We had more fun posing around though!

Yeah!! I finally get to celebrate my birthday with everyone here in Dallas!! I was jetsetting last year in Milan with Mommy and Caitlin and aunty Mandy.

I got to have my cake too!! It was a delectable fruit tart cake! I’d give up a trip to Europe just for this for sure!!!
