Claire loves to gather. Give her a basket and she’ll happily place things inside and transport them to whatever make believe land she’s got going in her mind. Lately she’s been putting toys in her basket and chatting with them under the dining room table, it’s so sweet to watch her little imagination blossom.

With the warm weather (finally!) the past couple of days, Claire has been busy piling all the patio rocks onto our chopping block outside. What a busy kid she is! With the few billion pebbles that make up our patio this should keep her busy ALL summer.
