We are settling in to the routine with much less angst these days. Claire is no longer crying when I drop her off in the morning, and I'm feeling a little more organized at school.
The distance Claire is willing to walk increases slowly. This weekend she managed about the length of the rug in the living room. She also walks more willingly holding ONE instead of both hands--so we are encouraged that maybe she still won't be crawling when she heads to kindergarten.
Claire's also adding all kinds of new words to her vocabulary. This weekend the refrain seemed to be either "bubble" "duck" or "cracker," but she's also added "nana" (banana) "baby" "Hem" "kitty" "horse" "cow" "home" and several more. When I pick her up after school she goes into these long strings of semi-intelligble words/phrases--just like she's telling me all about what she's been up to for the past few hours. It's fun to see her communicating her ideas to us, and we are working hard on "please" and "thank you" as the next words to learn!
The picture reveals how much Claire is learning by imitation! I think she can move a mouse better than some of her grandparents...ha ha!

Claire looks perfectly content at the computer. Maybe you'll get a picture of her walking one of these days if she lets you!
