I can't believe it, but my Claire Bear is three! She is the cutest stinker you ever did see. She is still a skinny little thing - but getting tall and growing out of some of her dresses. She loves music and singing, and often tells me to stop singing in the car because "this is MY song, mom!", usually when it's I'm Walking on Sunshine from Glee. She is getting picky about what she wears and wants to wear the same dress almost every Sunday - a pink, flowery, fancy dress that we bought around Easter time. She loves to run so I thought she would like to play soccer this year, especially after getting to audit her cousin's soccer class for a few weeks. But when I asked her if she wanted a dance class or soccer, she said she wanted ballerina school. So, we are trying it out in October. I promptly bought a pink leotard and wanted to cry when she put it on - she was so cute. Claire can read about 50 words by sight and is picking out letters in the books we read and on street signs. She is especially good at the T in Target and the O in Kohls... not because we shop there so much but because she is so smart... :)
I did a little interview with Claire to find out what this three year old is all about:
What is your favorite color? Pink
Who are your friends? Genevieve, Ryan, McKinley, Lily, and Kate
What do you like to do for fun? Go to the park, and eat something sweet, like honey, and honey makes bees feel good and then their tummies feel better
What do you like in your room? My piggy bank
What is your favorite movie? Mary Poppins
What is your favorite animal? Giraffe
What is your favorite food? Soup
Where do you like to go out to eat? Cafe Rio
What is your favorite TV show? Martha Speaks (on PBS)
What do you like best about Miles? He likes playing with me in my room
To celebrate her day of birth, we had a small party at the park and just let the kids play in the splash area. It will probably one of the last visits for awhile since I hope Summer is finally coming to an end. Miles didn't love the water - but Claire, Ethan, Noah, Genevieve and Dylan had a blast.
Claire was thoroughly spoiled with gifts - Tag (Leap Frog) books, activity books, dolls and accessories (that Miles also liked to play with), clothes, and the coveted Zhu Zhu pets. This will be the toy she looks back on in twenty years and laughs about - they are kind of cute though. Thank you everyone for helping us celebrate and for your calls and gifts. We are blessed.
