Claire is going through a phase that already seems to be waning. When talking to us, she addresses us as “My Mommy” or “My Daddy”. Examples: “I want something to eat, My Mommy”; “Pick me up, My Daddy”. It’s really cute and one of those things I don’t want to forget and already miss.

On another note, she is convinced that the new baby is a boy. She has said it is a Baby Dennis and that it’s a black baby. I don’t know what it is she thinks I’ve been up to!

She has also been telling me that she's been sent to "Time Out" when I pick her up from school. She includes a description of her transgression...I was running, or I jumped off something or other. It didn't seem quite right, so I asked her teachers about it and she hasn't been in trouble at all. They can't remember her ever being in "Alone Time" (their word for time out). I guess she just wants to do what the cool kids are doing?? I wonder what her motivation is for ratting herself out, when she hasn't even done anything.

Funny girl.
