Cardinals, Grant's Farm and Tacos

Sunday the 11th Dave, Kaitlynn and I went to a Cardinals game. Kaitlynn wore her Pujols shirt that my mom bought her. When I was fixing her hair in pigtails that morning, I told her she was wearing piggies for Pujols. It was so cute to hear her say "Piggies for Pujols". When she says Pujols, it sounds more like "Poopholes".

Kaitlynn really took an interest in Fredbird when she saw him on the field. Later when Kaitlynn and I were walking around, we saw Fredbird. She wanted to get closer to him, but not too close. Not close enough for a high five or a picture. When I asked her to get closer to Fredbird, she told me that she was scared.

After the game, we tried out this new Chinese restaurant by our house. I think this was the first time Kaitlynn has had Chinese.

Monday Kaitlynn and I went to my mom's. Kaitlynn stayed with my mom and played with Auggie and Elliott for a few hours. Later my mom, Kaitlynn and I went out to dinner and shopping.

Tuesday Kaitlynn and I went to Grant's Farm with one of our playgroups. We met Bhu, Sarina, Rachel, Jacob, Mary and Brooke there. Somehow we missed running into Danielle, Evan and Jenna. Don't know how that happened since Grant's Farm isn't that big.

After hanging out with our friends, we went to my mom's. That evening, we were on a mission to get a few new pairs of flip flops. Kaitlynn's 2 pairs of flip flops were no longer wearable and Children's Place said they were not getting anymore in. We went to a few different malls searching for her size. Kaitlynn loves wearing flip flops and prefers the ones from C.P.

After searching the malls, we worked up a hunger and Kaitlynn wanted tacos. Her new favorite food.

Meeting the Easter Bunny

On Monday, March 10th, I asked Kaitlynn if she wanted to see the Easter bunny. She said yes. So Dave and I took her to West County Mall, but the Easter bunny wasn't going to be there until later that evening. We took her to McDonald's for some chicken nuggets and before we left to go back to the mall, I asked her if she was ready to see the Easter bunny. She said yes again. We dressed her in her Easter dress in the car and then went in. There was no one in line for the Easter bunny. As I was walking Kaitlynn up to the bunny, I told the girl that Kaitlynn would cry when I put her on the bunny's lap, but we still wanted the pictures. I put Kaitlynn on the Easter bunny's lap and she was fine. In fact, she was smiling her little heart out. I was shocked, but thought as soon as I step away for the girl to take her picture she would freak out. Nope! She just kept on smiling. I was so proud of her. I wanted to cry. She is such a big girl. The pictures turned out so cute! Our scanner is still not working so I can't post the picture.
It's funny to look at her picture from last year and then this year. Last year she was so tiny in the Easter bunny's lap and was sleeping. This year she looked like such a big girl in the Easter bunny's lap and was smiling so big. She makes me so proud to be her mother!

Mall Play Area

Friday Kaitlynn and I went to West County Mall play area with the Yahoo Mom’s Group. A friend from Kangaroo Kids started this group. Anyway, this was the first time Kaitlynn has played at the mall play area. She seemed to like it. There was this little boy that was probably about 3 years old that came over and kissed her on the cheek. I wiped her cheek off and his mom came over to say sorry. Then he started trying to poke at Kaitlynn’s face. His mom told him to be gentle. He tried poking at her face again. Then he laid on the ground and started to kick at Kaitlynn. I don’t think he was trying to be mean. His mom said her son was obsessed with Kaitlynn. After playing in the play area, we ate lunch in the food court, and then walked around a little bit. We also picked up Kaitlynn’s 11 month pictures from JcPenneys. They are so adorable!
