Day 121: Cheese!

Like mother, like daughter.  Clara loves to take pictures with my phone.  So today we decided to take a picture of each other taking a picture.

Day 120: Happy B-Day Kaycee

Day 119: New Friend

Clara makes friends where ever she goes.  This is a friend she made at another play place....  She also insisted I take a picture of the two of them when it was time for her friend to go home.

Day 118: Brunt Finger

Clara was helping me melt some chocolate for some oreo balls.  I repeatedly told her that the pan and stove was hot, so be careful.  Turns out I should have told her that the chocolate would be hot too, because I heard say through her screams of pain, "I just wanted a little taste."

Day 117: Blue Lemon

For girls night out, we headed to Blue Lemon in Highland.  Turns out there ended up being only 2 of us, and nothing on the menu sounded exciting enough to order, so we ended up leaving and heading to Kneaders instead....  But the restaurant sure did look cool!

Day 116: Cup o Ice

So I've been having an extremely dry throat all week.  I finally discovered the miracle of ice chips today and have been carrying them with me where ever I went.

Day 115: McDonalds

Clara went to McDonalds with her cousin this week.  (Or as Clara calls it: Ronald McDonald's) 

Ok, I know this is supposed to be a picture blog (meaning not too many words.)  But I have to tell this story because I'm so proud of my little Clara.  Clara wanted to bring her happy meal toy with her when she played on the equipment.  At first I said no, because I knew she would lose it and we would have serious issues the entire rest of the day.  But she begged me, so I told her she could if she promised not to cry if she dropped it or accidentally left it somewhere.  She promised and off she went to play.  She was so good keeping track of it until the last 10 minutes or so.  When it was time to leave, it was no where to be found.  We did look for it, but we needed to go, and it wasn't in the play area, so some other kid probably took it any way.  So here comes the proud part.  Clara started to cry.  I gently reminded her of her promise, and she actually stopped!  She was only sad for about 15 minutes, and then she didn't bring it up again!  I couldn't believe it!  If you know my daughter well, you know how huge this was for her to not be sad for hours about something like this.
