New shoes & new words


Claire fundraised last weekend for PKD along with Logan, Robin, Nancy, Barb, Buck and Dad.

Mom and Claire were busy shopping the last couple of weekends for some tennis shoes. Claire ended up with a cute pair of Nike's that are sure to keep her stable when she starts ECFE in a couple of weeks.

She has been busy working on her words. Her nanny mentioned last week that she seems to be 'getting' things a lot more quickly these last couple of weeks. She was trying to say the word 'car' with her on Thursday evening. Claire will say the word 'nana' when you ask her to say banana and mom, dad and Jordan clearly heard 'down' yesterday as Claire climbed down the stairs.

Her number one favorite thing to do is read. She'll bring you books all day long and loves to sit on your lap while you read to her. She even tries to take books to the cat in the hopes Tabby will read to her. Mom has had to explain to her that cats don't read. She still tries to 'sit' on Tabby's lap.

She loves to be outdoors as well and is becoming more and more interested in sitting in her sandbox. Most of the sand lands outside of the box when she scoops it with the shovel but she's beginning to get more in the bucket each week. She really likes it when dad makes 'castles' and she smashes her hand on top.

She's also enjoying 'playing' with the cat. She has watched mom play with the string and finds it hilarious. She is now trying to throw the string at Tabby the way mom does and sometimes Tabby joins in the game. That delights Claire.

That's adorable. I love the idea of getting the cat to read to her.

I really like hearing about kids who love to read!
