Claire's A
This morning, Claire called out to me, "Mommy, I made an A!" She's been really into her letters lately. She knows all of the upper case letters, and has just started asking about the lower case letters, too. I told her to bring me her A, and here it is. Pretty good for a 2-year old, I think.

"What 'Cuz?"
Ah, yes. The "why" questions began today, or the Claire version, "what 'cuz?"
As in, "Can we watch Sesame Street after I take a bath?"
"No," replies Mommy, "Sesame Street isn't on tonight because it's Sunday."
Claire asks, "What 'cuz?"
"Do you mean, "Why?" asks Mommy.
"Yeah," replies Claire.
Yes, the dreaded day has arrived. Now I will be searching for answers as I am questioned on probably everything I say. On the plus side, it is amazing to see Claire's mind growing and learning as she searches for the answers of the universe - or at least why PBS doesn't air Sesame Street seven days a week.

More Silly Claire Sayings and A Trip to the Zoo
The other day I was getting ready to go to a baby shower, and I decided to spend a little more time on my hair than usual. I usually straighten it and curl it under, but I curled it a little more this time. As soon as I was finished, Claire looked up at me and said, "Mommy, your hair is all messy."
Just this morning, Claire came walking out of the bathroom with a book in her hand saying, "Mommy, my book is all wet." Since she was walking out of the bathroom, I was a little concerned. Looking at the book and seeing that in fact, the cover of the book was very wet, I asked, "How did the book get all wet?" Claire's response was, "I got 'bless-yous' all over it." I asked, "Do you mean you sneezed on it?" "Yeah, I sneezed on it." I was quite relieved that the book didn't come in contact with any toilet water, but still pretty amazed that she had that big of a sneeze - it was really wet!
Later, Claire declared out of the blue, "I'm so glad!" "What are you so glad about?" I asked. Claire exclaimed, "Your hair!" (Maybe she was glad I didn't curl it the way I did the other day.)
We also took advantage of the nice weather today and took a trip to the zoo. We packed a picnic lunch to eat while we were there. Here are a few pictures from our trip.
