Lazy weekend

Claire enjoyed a little more downtime than usual this weekend (thanks to a sick momma) but didn't seem to have a hard time getting into it- she parked herself on the couch with her blankie and Sears Christmas toy catalog and had a lovely time turning through the pages. She also enjoyed a trip to the park with Grandma to catch a few rays of sun (and really cold wind!) for a swing and snack.

101 things to do with buttons

Claire's love of buttons hasn't yet subsided....we sort them, stack them, make patterns, choose our favourites. And today, faced with a long afternoon with a slightly tired girl and a mom with laryngitis we found 2 more things to do- button necklaces (with embroidery needles) and button playdough cookies and trees.

Company

Claire enjoyed visiting with our friends from Vancouver and their son Colin who is 2 months older than Claire this weekend. Unfortunately I missed capturing the 'sneak attack hugs' she was hitting him up with at the Museum today, but did manage to get a cute shot of them last night.
In other entertaining "Claire news", I was awoken by a screaming girl at 3 am this week....I went into her room and found her standing in the far corner of her crib....when asked what was wrong she exclaimed "There's a ladybug on my mimi!!" (mimi= blankie)
Apparently she's having some vivid dreams!
