Nearing two

Can you believe Claire turns two in a week? New words are coming every day. Most of the time they are said by repeating mom, dad or Jordan, but she is incorporating them into her everyday vocab.

Potty bribing, I mean training, has begun. We are attempting the candy dish as a reward trick but so far it has illicited nothing but tears that she can't have m&m's without using the potty.

At the age of two Claire knows her letters, colors and shapes. Sometimes her letters sound more like the sound they make than the way we say letters, but hey, we're not too picky.

Climbing in and out of the walking toy at G&G Pichner's was one of her favorite activities last weekend.

Riding in the car with cousin Ryan.

Showing us how she likes to swing by herself on the big girl swings.
