Clare's Birthday





Clare was very excited for Lilly's Ariel Birthday Party but only lasted about 15 minutes before she asked to go to bed. She got up for the last few minutes but missed the bulk of it. So, for her birthday, we went to Build-A-Bear. Corey and Lilly had been once before but it was a first for Clare. Papa and Nana went too, having just flown in for the weekend. She made a cute dog and got it some hot pink shoes and a pink summer dress. She named it Wags on Corey's suggestions since that's the name of the dog in the Wiggles and she was a big fan. Wags hasn't come close to Minnie status for Clare but she had fun anyway. Afterward, we met Rob at the Texas Roadhouse for dinner and then headed home. Grandma had decorated the table for her celebration and I made a fun Ariel cake that she enjoyed. Her language is so strong now and she loves to say "I'm two." She had her 2-year old wellness check on Monday and everything is great! She had to have one injection but was a real trooper about it and barely cried at all. After the shot, she was sitting on my lap and said "I scared, Mama". I said: "I know, honey, I was a little scared too." She looked me in the eye and asked very sweetly "You scared too, Mama?" I said: "Just a little". Her response: "Ahhhh." and then she gently reached up and patted my hair. It was the sweetest little moment. She is such a doll!!!!

PS...When Lilly finished her shot, she said "I want to see Corey." We went out to the lobby to see him and a few minutes later she was still crying a bit and my mom asked her why. She said "I don't want to hear Clare cry" (Clare was going next). They are all so close and so loving towards each other....very sweet.
