She had a Mickey Mouse Themed birthday party complete with a Mickey Bounce House and even Mickey Mouse M&M's in her favors!!! We had lots of family here too for the whole weekend. Grandma Debbie, Grandpa Reese, Cousins Kinsley and Derek all came from Michigan for K's birthday party and recital. Grandma Lois, Aunt Donna, Cousins James and Anthony also came up from Long Island as well! It was a great weekend and the kids all enjoyed playing together. 
On Tuesday 6/16/09, after the birthday & recital stuff was over, we took a vacation to Sesame Place in Pennsylvania. The kids had a great time at the park and K went on her first Roller Coaster and LOVED it!! We had lunch with all the Sesame Street characters two of the days we were there. It was a very exciting trip and even though we had a LOT of behavior issues from both of the kids in the hotel from being way off routine, it was still awesome and we cant wait to go back!!
Kaitlyn is going through this "phase" (it started about a month or o ago) where she is Little Miss Sassy, talking back and yelling and demanding. Apparently this is something kids go through for about 18 months around this age and we just need to keep "reminding" her that she needs to ask nice and talk nice over and over and over and over and... oh you get it. Needless to say she gets LOTS of Time Out's these days!
She has also (since about a week ago) started telling awesome and very creative stories. She will use toys and talk to them acting out stories... it's a lot of fun!
So we went to the Dr today for her 4yr check up and she is a pretty healthy little girl. We are FINALLY getting her into the allergist to see about her Milk/Dairy problem which we are extremely happy about. The Ped. is also sending her to the Opthalmologist because she didnt pass her Eye Screening. Her right eye was 20/40 but her left she aparently couldnt make out anything on the board. She has actually grown a little! She was 32lbs and 40 1/8 inches tall. Everything else was great though!
This year we also started going to Church and became Members at Immanuel Lutheran in Niskayuna and Kaitlyn started Sunday School in Jan too and will start up that again in Sept 09. She is also starting Pre-School in Sept too and will be going to school for 2 1/2 hours a day M-F. She is growing up so fast and really becoming a wonderful girl and we love her so much and are extremely proud of all of her accomplishments.
