On saturday my nephew Ian got baptized. All week long we talked about what it means to be baptized. When he got baptized Claire was front and center, watching him intently and very reverently. Then that night, when she was saying her prayers she said, " thank you that my cousin got baptized and thank you for the Foly Ghost." -Sooo CUTE!! It amazes me how much kids can learn. They are paying attention and even if you think they are too young to learn about certain things, you may be suprised.
Every night claire always says she is hungry right when we put her to bed. We used to give her a piece of bread but I decided as of late that I dont want to do this anymore. She is only saying this so she can stall. So the other night when she said that she was hungry, I told her that we only say that if we really are hungry and that she just ate dinner and that her saying that she is hungry is a lie. Then I told her that we dont lie in this house. She replied with, "We only lie outside?"
Claire came downstaires after her nap and her hands were down her underpants picking at her bum! Gross! Kids hands are so dirty as it is, we dont need their hands in places they shouldnt be. So, I told her to get her hands out of her bum. She replied in a whiney voice and said, "But Mom, theres somthin in my bum!" I thought, " Yeah, probably poop that didnt get wiped out good enough. " I figured she just had a bad case of the itches. I pulled her pants down and spread her cheeks and lo and behold there was something in her bum. I pulled out a long blade of grass. How did that get there?

What a sweet little girl. I was afraid the last bum picking story was going to end with her saying that her grandma taught her how to do that. Love you Claire!
