Clare update

Clare is definitely 3 1/2. She knows what she wants and man will she let you know if she's not getting it! Good thing she can also be a sweet, cuddly little love bug. I love all the time we get together during the week. We have lots of fun reading, having tea parties and playing dress up - her favorite activities. It's pretty much useless to get her dressed in the morning, she's in a princess dress ten minutes later. When I asked her what she wanted Santa to bring her for Christmas this year she said, "A Belle dress. And a Jasmine dress. Oh, and a Tangled dress. And maybe Tinkerbell too." Mommy better get out her sewing machine!

Tea Party time!
Reading to every lovey in the house:
On our last trip to Disneyland, she got to meet some of her princesses! (A highlight of her life! And let's not dwell on Disneyland too long, I might start to cry. We miss it soooo badly!)


She started preschool a few weeks after we moved here. I drive her 15 minutes to Spanish Fork every MWF for 2 1/2 hrs. I love that it's not a co-op and I don't have to be there. (Fionn's nap is during her preschool time, so 3 days a week I get 2 mommy ONLY hours!! WOW!) She's very independent and loves that she gets to go to her own school and do her own thing.

First day of school:
(I know, princess dress AND princess backpack. Agh! Remember that earlier mention of how this girl knows exactly what she wants??)





One day we went to get sparkly pink cupcakes! (In honor of Grandma, who calls her, her little cupcake.)
