Our little comedian

Claire has turned into our little comedian and will do anything for a laugh, even if that means fake laughing. She will put on hats, gloves, coats, or scarves for a reaction. Last Sunday Nana and Papa came down to play with Claire and make us all a delicious meal. Claire enjoyed every minute and Julie and I got to clean the house (who would have guessed that I would enjoy spending a Sunday cleaning). The night concluded with some of Nana's famous paella (Claire's favorite) and some strawberry ice cream.

 'I'm cleaning up like mommy'

 'Now, wipe my mouth'

 'I LOVE MOWING THE CARPET!'

 Of all of her stuffed animals she loves Mr. Monkey the best!

We practice reading every day and she is getting better at identifying the objects in the books when we say the words.
