"It's a whale."

We recently acquired some new wall art, complements of Claudia. When I saw it I said "Who did that?" Claudia promplty responded "Claudia did it!" And as I walked out of the room she told me, "It's a whale!" She is quite proud.

Tonight, after Peter told Claudia it was time to brush her teeth she said "Claudia not listening to Daddy." Uh oh...

Happy 4th!

Our 4th of July was spent in town, and at a bbq next door. Here's Claudia and Blythe (neighbor across the street). We all comment (as do others) that they could be sisters.

Claudia's favorite question to ask is "Whatcha doin'?" And she'll continue to ask until she gets an answer she understands...Recently while up late one night, Claudia said "I want some cereal." And I said "How 'bout some fruit?" and she said "How 'bout a cookie?"... Her song repertoire is expanding. She likes to sing in the car and in the tub, especially. It's fun to try to figure out what she's singing since she learns different songs at school than what we sing...She's just started watching tv and has an Elmo DVD that she likes to watch. At different times in the video Elmo kisses a little baby. Soon after that happens she's telling us, "Elmo kiss a baby!"...We've been talking about getting her a fishy (Elmo has a fish "Dorothy" in his video). The other night when I asked her what she was going to name her fishy she said "Peter".
