Oh boy!

Clara said the funniest thing at bedtime tonight that I just needed to document it because it was just too much. She was laying down for Matt to put on her diaper after her bath. "I opened Clara's BUTT!" is basically what she said as she lay with her legs in the air and she prepared her heiney to get diapered. I was dying, I thought it was hilarious. It was not just that she said that, but how she said it with her deep silly voice!

She also kept saying, "I'm fighting, I'm fighting" as she was giving Matt a hard time while he was getting ready for bed.

Almost there!

Ellis is almost crawling. Today he learned some sort of strange sidewinding trick that does propel him forward but it is almost PAINFUL to watch. He sort of turns 1/4 of the way over and then pushes himself forward as he rights himself. It works but it is very slow and his knees are completely red from the effort. It won't be long before he really starts going! Tomorrow we start his gym class and I remember Clara really motoring after we started that class. He is pretty determined these days about learning how to do it. I would say a week ago, if something was out of his grasp, he would just complain about it. My bet is by the end of the week. Watch out world! Here comes Ellis!

Wednesday Last Week

Last week, Clara at breakfast turned to me and said, Heather and Preston are coming today. It's Wednesday. And she was right! I had talk about the day of the week each day is SOMETIMES but I did not think that I did it often enough for her to pick it up like that. That kid is smart. I must have made such a big deal telling everyone what Clara said that she now insists most days are Wednesday!
