The word “bubbles” is one of Claire’s favorite things to say. She loves to watch bubbles floating down the creek near our house and is thrilled to play in tons of foamy bubbles in the tub. Claire squeals “BUBBLAS!” whenever she sees ‘em. Claire was really desperate to try blowing some of her own bubbles outside. As a result, I got to see a little … Continue reading Bubbles!
The other working title I was toying with:Regina did WHAT with a cake stand? LOL Another rainy day has spoiled my plan for raising a nature-loving kid who spends much time outdoors swimming, running and chasing after the multitude of critters in our yard. It has rained so much this summer! Granted, playing outside in the rain doesn’t bother me – Claire’s even got the … Continue reading Can you say Entomologist?

It’s hard to believe that the kid whose food finds its way behind her ears can hold a brush and keep most of the paint on the paper. If you look closely … Continue reading Paint!
Another post featuring Claire at her naughtiest – what has this blog come to?! I’ll just chalk it up to toddlerhood. Here’s a snapshot of Claire doing the time after the crime and wiping down the wainscoting she decorated. While I appreciate Claire’s attempts at improving our kitchen decor,I prefer the clean look of white cabinetry and molding to the bold orange of her marker. … Continue reading Crime and Punishment
We visited Long Island this past weekend and Claire got to spend some quality time at the park with her Auntie Laurie and Uncle Matt. One nice thing about “stop-sign Island,” as Dan likes to call it, is that there are many parks within walking distance.
