A Whole Bunch of Nothing

There wasn't a whole lot to report on for this week. Clara decided to put her Elmo bucket on her head. I found that amusing. I find that most of my days are being filled with things that Clara does to amuse us. For example, she is starting to copy things that we say. Jeremy was calling for me, and Clara decided to call too. But she said, "Sarah" instead of Mommy. Jeremy also got slightly frustrated one day and in an exasperated tone he said, "Ugg!" Clara repeated it with the exact same face and tone of voice. It was so hard for me not to laugh. I have also been having a hard time getting Clara to try new foods. I'll have a tiny amount of the new food on a spoon/fork and say, "Just try it." Clara will now bring me her food and say, "Try it Mom." Now I know how she feels because I definitely don't want to try her pre-chewed food. :)

Jeremy only has 10 days left of school. Just 10 more days of getting Clara ready for bed myself because Jeremy has homework. Just 10 more days of feeling guilty if I leave Clara with Jeremy because he won't get as much homework done. Just 10 more days of Jeremy not getting to play with us when he gets home from work. I am sooooooooooooooo excited!

P.S. In case you were wondering, Jeremy's favorite picture was #2. It was the clearest and he kind of liked us all not looking at the camera. That's the artistic point of view for you. :) My favorite was #3, but it was blurry. So my next favorite was #1, but the we couldn't tone down the bright sun shining off our faces. I also really liked #5, but it was too grainy. So we left it up to our wonderful readers to decide for us. I did put up picture #5 as our family picture on our side bar. But that will not be the one we print for our Christmas letter as it really is too grainy. We are going with our viewers 2nd choice (and my favorite) of #3. Thanks for all your votes.
