I've been trying to teach Claire to say "excuse me" when she wants to tell someone something instead of interrupting. So she likes to say "EXCUSE ME!" before she says something now. Claire said "Excuse me!" to Josh when he got home from work today. Then she said: "I LOVE YOU."
It was raining out. She wanted to wear her sunglasses. I asked her why. Her reply? "So rain stays out of my eyes." I told her they were for when it was sunny out. She goes, "OH! So your eyes no get sunburn!" Kind of!
We have a little thief. I saw her playing with a white silky scarf I didn't recognize. Uh-oh. I asked her where she got it. "I got it at the garage sale!" Um? I didn't pay for one? So I asked her which one! She says, "The Sleeping Beauty garage sale!" Great! So she jacked it. So do I take it back...or offer her (the lady whose house we got it from) a buck for it? Now I know how parents don't notice things...oops.

Muffin Tin Snacks
Muffin Tin Snacks are basically a variety of snacks presented in a muffin tin. Ideally, you can let them sit out all day and your child can graze as he/she wants to! I remember first seeing this in a parenting magazine before I even had kids. It's such an awesome idea!
Carrots, cheddar bunnies, purple grapes, banana, honey roasted peanuts, and oranges are all a favorite!
My sweet Claire-Bear!
I am not trying to wean Claire overnight, but I'm also trying to cut her way back since if I let her, she would nurse more often and longer than the newborn...even at night. Sigh. SO I am trying to load her up on her favorite foods and snacks! Here is her mid-morning snack...which is also her "snacks" for the day. She was down to pretty much just nursing before sleep/at night, but then tada...lots of milk and she was going nursing crazy. I'm over it now. I NEED to cut her back or I am going to go crazy. I was thinking I would like to have her weaned by Christmas, but definitely by the time Alex turns one...I don't know how to though! It's so hard! Thoughts? My reasoning is today, she pushed his head off my nummie and latched on. I was on the phone and dropped it so as to catch Alex. NOT ACCEPTABLE CLAIRE!

Rock Stars
Yesterday we went to the Rock Stars Cars Guitars display at The Childrens Museum. It was pretty cool. Of course they had things for the kids that were hands on. The really cool thing was that they had Ryan White's mom and sister there and I got to say hi to them and get a picture with them with Josh's phone. We didn't bring the camera yesterday so no other pictures. What? Trying to keep tabs on 2 kids is enough without trying to hang on to a camera that you don't want to leave in the stroller someplace.
Some cute things Claire has said lately:
"Alex looks like a caterpillar baby!" when he's on the floor during tummy time.
"Wipe my other face!" when she wanted me to wipe her other cheek!
And we've started letting her go on the ponies at the Museum that move on the carousel since she going to be 3 soon and they don't check IDs ;) They are supposed to be three. Haha. She calls them "Up and Down Ponies" and loves to pick which one she wants to ride on.
