And this is how she came down. As a bonus, she did get the socks!

I asked Katie to show me her pretty dress.
More hand-me-downs from a neighbor girl. I cannot tell you how much she loves dresses. 🙂
Let’s try again. 🙂
A brush and bag of food. Why not?
These are the two things she HAD to being with her to the bus stop.
Our little lion…roars!
Random Katie
She had her ballerina on today, but a friend brought over some hand-me-down clothes…and as soon as Katie saw there was a skirt, she HAD to have it on.
A while later, she discovered the rest of the bag…and this dress which she then HAD to have on. This was her look as she watched me pull MORE DRESSES out of the bag. She’s definitely my girly girl. 🙂
Fun with daddy. 
The tunnel got dragged upstairs today. 🙂
Katie gets new shoes!
Her favorite brown shoes broke so I ordered her two new pair.
“Look mom! Pac man apple!”
An hour with Katie
She also learned how to flick flowers and had a GRAND time doing it.
Then it was off to the playground.
“Mom, the panda is hot!”
She found the only puddle in the middle of the wood chips…in white pants. 🙂
Hanging like a monkey…again.
Her rock collection.
Twirling and drama with Katie
This is a typical 15-minute time period of any given day.
Katie’s slipper doesn’t work
Welcome to my world. I see stuff like this on a daily—and sometimes hourly—basis.
Cookie Monsters and playing catch on the beach!
First warm day in awhile!
I got this new outfit for Katie at Costco this morning. It’s technically a sporty (Adidas) outfit but it has a skirt so to her its a princess outfit. 🙂 She couldn’t wait for it to be washed, so here she is.
We took Maggie on a short walk at bus stop time because it was so nice!
Frozen birthday party
Katie with the birthday girl (turning 3). Costumes were welcomed!
Katie was introduced to plastic shoes…at a house with all wood floors. EEK!
All I could see was a sprained ankle in her future.
My ankles hurt just watching this.
And then another (mismatched) pair!
But she LOVED them! I just hope she forgets about these and continues to love her real ballerina slippers and “ballerina” crocs. 🙂
CHEEEESE!!!!
She loves saying cheese!
This is a new 4T outfit from Grannie Lin—the top fits perfect and the pants are too big (she’s swimming in the waste). But oh so cute!
A sparkly tutu with ballerina socks!
We’re pretending it’s a ballerina skirt.
She wanted to wear her ballerina outfit again but I convinced her to wear this ballerina skirt. 🙂
And on our way out the door:
Mama, I want a scarf!
The bane of my existence.
Owen’s socks don’t look much better.
Katie is 2 years 6 months old today!
I found Owen’s old MSU jersey while digging through Katie’s closet—and as soon as she saw it, she wanted to wear it. 🙂
Dinosaur Twins
Santa brought Katie Dino PJs to match big brother!
Now we have two dinosaurs with cute little tails! (I tried to get them both to hold them for the picture but after eight shots I gave up.)
Lego Movie T-Shirt Twins
Santa brought both of them the same Lego Movie T-shirt!
Sweatshirt Twins
It was chilly in the house this morning (daddy was back to work so there was no one to turn the heat on in the morning) so I put the kids in their new hoodies from Grannie Lin and Papa! They’re definitely big enough to grow into—for both of them!
Emmet, Benny, and the Minions
Owen picked these new PJ pieces to wear tonight! Thanks, Gramma Jean!
New matching Christmas jammies!
Their first set of matching PJs! Both kids LOVED them—they were both dancing and prancing around.
Now with Santa hats!
Then the playing!
“Where’s Katie?!”
“Here I am!”
Someone loves her new coat!
And her mint!
Typical photo session with Katie.
She loves anything with a skirt because she calls it a ballerina skirt. 🙂
Love the tutu and sunglasses.
Katie is infatuated with tutus and ballerina skirts, so I got her this one from the dollar store. She added the sunglasses and picked the black boots when we went to the playground.
OMG such a cute dress!
My three cookie monsters…and other family pics.
Waiting for Papa, Grannie, and daddy to bring Owee back from the bus stop (she slept in today!).
My three cookie monsters!
All smiles with the grandparents! It helped that Tom was behind me making faces! 🙂
A rare family pic (since I’m always behind the camera!).
My monkeys!
YACKO from the cousins!
I’ve been slacking in taking pictures of Katie in her totally adorable Beson cousin hand-me-downs. This one was sooo cute I finally had to take one. 🙂
In mom’s dress with mom’s matching doll—Part 2!
See part 1 here!
Today Gramma Jean and I tried to get a better shot of Katie in the dress with the doll—and with the bonnet that I found (and didn’t lose after we moved!).
First, Katie was thrilled to get new shoes (I’ve had them forever and finally had a reason to get them out). Second, she loved her “long socks” and sat very patiently while I put her tights on. Third, she was excited to finally hold “her dolly” that she had seen sitting on the table waiting. 🙂
Here’s a comparison shot with the original picture and the closest one from today (out of 147 shots):
And a collage of the rest of the best:
Two of my favorites:
Some pics mom took:
Showing grandpa her long socks!
Heading to the bus stop to get Owen, with a brief detour to see the pumpkins and try for more pics:
As always, excited to see Owee getting off the bus!
Back at home, refusing to take off any of the outfit:
