Has it really been 4 years since we brought this spunky red-head into the world?
Where has the time gone?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CLAIRE!
We love Claire SO much, without her our life wouldn't be nearly as exciting!
Some things about Claire I want to remember as she turns 4:
Claire:
- Has an AMAZING memory. She hears something once and it's there for good. We have to be very careful about what music we listen to, what we watch on TV, say or do around her. (For instance in her video I ask her to sing "Jar of Hearts"...and she knows all the words to the chorus without blinking. I don't even know all the words.)
- Is the most eclectic little kid I've ever known. Her birthday wish list was: A Batman Crystal Ball, A Chickenbot (which we think must be a chicken robot), a Toy Story cake and she added yesterday The Don't Touch Hand Soap System for the bathroom...because it would sure make washing her hands so much easier.
- Is usually off in her own little world, but is also very meticulous with little things. She will try writing words, sounding them out, and will carefully sit and color a picture for an hour making sure she is inside all the lines. She pays very close attention to details.
- Has suddenly decided she's a "fashion girl". An example, yesterday she wore a blue and yellow dress paired with purple sweat pants, a white and pink sweater and a green headband. She is SURE that wearing pants under a dress makes her look older, even if it is sweat pants. For her birthday she is getting pink cowboy boots and a pink superhero cape...I'm sure some interesting outfits will be coming.
- Is looking forward to growing up so she can clean faster....which won't be hard to do.
- Needs at least a 10 minute warning that we're leaving the house so she can get shoes and a sweater, plus you will have to remind her at least 10 times that is what she's supposed to be doing.
And here is the 4 year old video. Keep in mind we had both just woken up...but there are a few gems in there. And yes, it's long.
