Summer Days

 


We've been having some great weather this week... Claire is taking full advantage. Yesterday, she went to 2 parks - one with Stephanie, Abby, and Cody, and one with Jeff and I after dinner. When I was getting her out of the car after work, she asked to go to the park, so I told her if she ate a good dinner, we could go to the park after dinner. Claire's not really at the stage where you can negotiate with her - instant gratification is the only kind. However, she did go inside and climb right up in her chair. Then, she proceeded to eat the chicken off a drumstick, red peppers, cherry tomatoes, shredded cheese, pineapple, and a piece of toast. We were still eating, so she went and played. As soon as the dishes were in the dishwasher, she was back asking to go the park. That kid, she doesn't miss a trick!

Claire's Work Day



I would say that Claire's work day is a whole lot more fun than my workday. She's at the park enjoying the rain-free day while I toil away on this blog (or other, even less fun, tasks)... Have a good day everyone!

Happy Birthday, Claire!


We celebrated Claire's birthday last week. Claire had alot of fun. Now, we're in trouble, though, everytime that Claire gets in her highchair, she asks for a cupcake and pretends she's blowing out candles!

Summer Coming Early

 

 

 

 


We've had an unusually warm spell this month. Claire took full advantage today.

Pronouns and such

Claire is talking more and more every day. She hasn't mastered her pronouns just yet which makes for some pretty comical interchanges.

Claire: "With you, Mommy."
Me: "You want to come with me?"
Claire: "No, with you, Mommy." (Meaning with her)

Claire: "Push me, Mommy." (On the swing, we're not teaching blocking and tackling just yet)
Me: "Okay, get up on the swing."
Claire: "Push ME, Mommy."
Me: "Oh, you want to push me?"
Claire: "Yeah."

I'm sure, she's totally associated "you" with herself and "me" with Jeff or me and that she thinks I'm the total dummy who can't keep her own name straight. She'll get it, I'm sure. But, it's pretty funny right now.

Our Weekend Project

 

 

 

 


This year we decided to get Claire a playset for her birthday. We put it together this weekend. She actually probably would have been perfectly happy if we had screwed the steering wheel onto our shed and left the slide laying on the ground. However, she REALLY likes her new swingset.
