What's been going on?

The Snider household has been busy - here is a quick look at what has been going on.

Right after Claires birthday she because a bedtime nightmare and after much screaming, fighting, and freaking out - Dan & I figured out someone has a very strong dislike for being in her crib. At least that made the transition to a big girl bed much easier. She absolutely loves it and now gives us no problems going to bed. The hardest part now is keeping her in bed in the morning. She never gets up at bedtime but I will never get to used to her coming out of her room while I am getting ready in the morning. Or shall we talk about her opening the bathroom door while Dan was showering, peeking her head in and yelling Hi, Daddy!

Holy resemblance to Kristin - anyone else agree?
Claire loves to help and what better way than to have family pizza making night. Claire and Dora - her big girl panties - helped make pizza for dinner. Claire, Dora, and Claires tattoo were very serious and what didn't make it to Claires mouth made it to the oven for dinner. And it case you're wondering, no she's not potty trained, but we figure it can't hurt to let her run around in her big girl panties. We have cleaned up a few accident but I'm not sure who is more upset - me or Claire because she "hurt Dora" or "hurt Mickey" when she peed on them.

Here is another picture, just because I think it's funny. Someone needs a haircut - stat!

We have had lots of birthday parties for Claires friends, this past weekend Claire enjoyed the balloon artist. She got Elmo and a flower. The flower popped in the parking lot, but Elmo is still hanging around and gets tucked in every night.



That's it for now - we are heading to Vermont early early (5 AM early!) on Friday morning for a long weekend.

So cute in that bed! Claire should have a great time in VT this year. I remember this was the age with Emma when she really started enjoying the beach up there. I will keep my fingers crossed that you have a safe and traffic free ride up there!
