These last few months I’ve sat down to write and nothing seems to come to mind. I have a whole list of drafts in my folder that just don’t seem publishable. There’s just not much going on. Nothing more exciting than playing, that is.
Claire is adorable as usual. She is loving all her new Christmas toys…every day seems like Christmas when she discovers a new toy that she forgot that she had! She has a few favorites:
She loves her Sesame Street doll house. I love it too. She lays on her tummy with her feet in the air and we play with the dolls – Elmo, Cookie, Big Bird, Ernie – but no Bert, I can’t figure that one out. She actually makes the dolls “walk” and we talk to each other in “Elmo talk”, but she is ALWAYS Elmo, and I let her ( ; It is so much fun to play with her and she plays back.
We also frequent the tea set on her new table and chairs set and have parties with juice and Fruit Loops. We cook in her new kitchen and she loves to wear the apron and line up all the dishes on the dining room table. She brings me cups with spoons and feed me while making slurping sounds. Such a little girl!!
She has her favorite new castle tent that we spend hours, did you notice the “s” on the end of the “hour”. Uh huh. Hours are spent in this tent, and it gets kinda hot in there when she insists that the door stays closed. And she always wants it closed. But I love the closeness in the tent. We read books and sing songs – her favorites are “Elmo’s World” and “Baby Bop Hop”. I sing a verse, then I stop and she sings her own version. Her voice is the most precious, angelic, darling, sweet, kissable sound that I’ve ever heard!!!
We are having a blast. Playing and pretending and learning and growing. I love this age. She is growing up so fast that I just want her to slow down for a teeny tiny bit and stay this way for a little bit longer.
