What a Big Girl

Lately I am reminded of what a big girl Claire is becoming. Her language just keeps getting more complex and she comes up with the funniest things. The other day I was cleaning the bathroom. Claire came over to me and asked what I was doing. I told her I was cleaning the washroom. She of course jumped to the only logical explanation and asked, "Did daddy make a big mess in there?" What a funny girl!


She's starting preschool in a couple weeks. I torn between looking forward to some one on one time with Jack and maybe getting the occasional nap in, but also a bit sad that she's taking such a big step towards childhood and away from babyhood. I think Claire will love preschool. She is really starting to be interested in other kids. She loves crafts, and books, and blocks, and songs. She has no idea what fun is in store for her at school.

Claire is potty trained. She has been for over a month now. I was actually dreading potty training because I thought it would be so much work. Well one day we were at Wal Mart and she saw a potty and asked for it. I thought what the heck, we'll give it a try. Lo and behold I put her in underwear and within a week, she was completely trained. I guess she was just ready.


I am just so proud of this little person. She is such a good big sister. I catch her giving Jack a little pat on the head or a quick kiss when she thinks I'm not looking. She makes me laugh when she's trying to have a conversation with him and asking him a question and then answering for him since he can't. Here's a quick clip of her talking to Jack. Gosh, I love this kid!
