A few weekends ago I painted Claire's toenails for the first time. I painted them pink and she loved it! Last week I painted them with glitter and she called it pitter. Claire's vocabulary has just exploded over the past few weeks and she is consistently speaking in full sentences.
Claire's last day of school was last Friday. Bobo came to visit on Sunday and kept Claire Monday through Wednesday. Claire loved visiting with Bobo. Bobo and Claire played and played. Claire did get an insect bite that required medical attention. Sam and Bobo went to the Vanderbilt Walk-in to make sure it was nothing too serious. We were told it was just in insect bite (not a spider, thank goodness) and she was given a cream to use. The bite was huge and had three distinct holes. We took Bobo to downtown Nashville and visited a honky-tonk. Bobo seemed to like it. Claire did, too!
Claire likes to carry her dolls around and baby them. She found a maxi-pad in my bathroom and called it her "baby diaper" and tried to diaper her dolls. It was hilarious.
Yesterday and today Claire had a sitter, Miss Kaylee, who is the daughter of Mrs. Angie, Claire's new teacher. Claire is moving up to the Great Grains this summer. We were told that she is the second youngest in her class but much more advanced than the other kids so they are moving her up. I am so glad. I think that if she is with kids a little older that she will strive to do what they are doing (potty training!). The director, Mrs. Brooke, said that Claire is "brilliant!" I think so,, too!
Next week Claire's Aunt Kay and Cousins Sheffield and Susan are coming to visit. We will have fun!
Other notables: Claire has started, every so often, calling Sam and me by our first names! Claire does not like ice cream and prefers kosher hotdogs. Everything is "my -----" like "my chair" "my frigerator." We joined the gym and last week we visited during lunch and had our first family picnic. Claire was more excited about the birds I think.
Claire is so much fun!
