Story Time

A friend of ours introduced us to story time at the local library. Claire absolutely loves going. Here is a picture of her and her friend Katie listening to the story. I love how they are the closest you can get to the teacher.
Then after story time they get to do music time; they get to play with instruments. Claire loves to pick out the maracas. After that depending on the day we go they color, play a game or do something else. The last time we went they made little chicks out of a toilet paper roll. Claire had so much fun making hers. She named it "Chicky Poo". Here is a picture of her with her "Chicky Poo".

Catching up

We've had lots of things happen in the past few weeks. I've been quite the slacker when it comes to updating the blog. So I've decided to finally do some updating. For Claire's birthday her Aunt Peggy sent her some Dora roller skates. She was so excited to try them out.
Although when she tried them out all she did was try and walk in them it didn't take her too long before she fell. We then tried to teach her how to slide her feet and roll the wheels. She loves them. She has such a great time rolling around in those skates. Thanks Aunt Peggy.
She also lip gloss. Her Aunt LeeAnn gave her a lip gloss watch. She loves to put the glittery lip gloss on her. She has also found it fun to put it on other things. First it was the coffee table and the next time it was....
...on her barbie. She told me she was making the barbie pretty. We tried to teach her that she doesn't put lip gloss on any thing other than lips. Which means if she has her lip gloss you need to watch out because she'll put it on any and every person's lips she can find.
Maybe I'm a slacker mom, but I finally put Claire in a bubble bath. She wasn't so sure of the bubbles at first...
...in the end she absolutely loved playing in the bubbles. She smiled and giggled. She loved to put the bubbles on top of all her toys. I guess I should have let her try out a bubble bath a long time ago.
