New School, Baby Dolls and Signs

This week Claire started her new daycare. She is enrolled at PB&J Day School, but because the building is new and not ready we are going to the owner's home. Her teacher is Mrs. Jennifer. On day one, however,she started coughing in the car and threw up everywhere! Claire and I had to go home and clean up. Once I got her in the bathtub, she pooped! It was a messy morning!!

This week at school she learned about balls. She made art by rolling ping pong balls dipped in paint on paper and by throwing balls with paint on them on paper. For snack this week she ate green peas (balls). Claire played in the water but one day she apparently was not done playing in the water and when she was brought in she threw a fit! Mrs. Jennifer said that Claire lets you know when she does not like something. Mrs. Jennifer also wanted to let us know that Claire has a little temper:) Claire seems to really like Mrs. Jennifer.

This week Claire has also started signing. She signs for "eat", "more" and "milk."

Claire also plays with her dolls like a real baby. She has a stuffed bottle that she puts to the mouth of her baby doll. It is so cute. I can't believe how the maternal side kicks in so early.

New Words and New Park

Last night Claire slept through the night for the first time in weeks. Her too teeth are really trying to come in and on has broken through. I hope they come in soon. She has been suffering with them for weeks!

Claire is saying "ca" for cat, "da" for daddy, and "mama" for mommy. She has said "clap" but only once and says "ging" for drink. She can hand-sign for "more" and of course has no problem communicating "no"!!!

She loves to pretend that she is going to give you her food and then jerk it away and put it in her mouth. She cracks me up!

We went to a new church today, Christ Community Church. Claire seemed to have fun in the nursery. We went to Liberty Park today to play Disc Golf. Claire was a trooper! We let her play on the playground after the golf and she loved that!

I hope that tomorrow goes well when she starts her new school!

Using a Spoon!!!

Claire used a spoon for the first time today. I had to put food on the spoon but she would take it and put it in her mouth! I am so proud of her!

Last day at Pembroke!

Today was Claire's last day at her first daycare, Pembroke Preparatory School. I know that Claire will miss Ms. Laura and Ms. Alison, but it is time to move on. She starts PB&J Dayschool on Monday. The school is not open yet, so she will be in a private class taught by the owners. I hope she likes it!
