some claireisms

yes, i am a speech pathologist. yes, i am fully aware these productions are developmental and normal. yes, i still think they are soooo adorable.

mail man--manmail
sandwich--samips
lay down--may now
holy crap--holy cwap--even used in appropriate context (steam coming out of pot while cooking..."holy cwap, daddy--fiuh" (i'm convinced she gets this from chris--he'd beg to differ)
sophie--soapie
ambulance--ambance
love you--wubyu
ice cream--i keam

when we take a bath, i sing to the tune of the Backstreet Boys' "Everybody," "wash your body." claire nows responds to her directions of taking a bath as "time to was you body."

her biggest desires in life are "read a sory," "go fo wide," or "go fo walk." when we ask her where she wants to go, claire either responds "tahget" or "i keam." that's my girl!

whenever my phone rings or i am talking to someone on the phone, she immediately thinks it is grammy. i have a coat similar to the one my mom (grammy) wore when she was here and she seems to think i have stolen grammy's coat. she also thinks our spare bed is "gwammy's bed." ahhh...grammy won my baby's heart.

4 months

We are potentially down to our last four months in Korea. I say "potentially" because it rests solely on where we are going. If we are heading back to the States, we will most likely be leaving early June so that we can enjoy a full summer with family and have time to get settled before Claire begins school. We caught wind today of what could be our next assignment. Although it is far from official word, all of a sudden my tummy is filled with butterflies. I had the privilege of teaching a little first grade girl who was one of a set of quadruplets. They (she and her sisters) are the most delightful little girls. They are well behaved and truly beautiful inside and out. Anyway, their family was due to PCS (military move) in December. I teased her that I was going to follow her and live down the road. While they were house hunting, I continually asked if there was a neighboring house for me. She'd laugh and giggle, not really sure if I was serious or not. Her Mom thought

A post

You wanted it, you asked for it, so here it is. A post. Hopefully this post will satisfy all your desires. I am not writing about the apple of my eye, Claire, but of the other apple of my eye--reality tv. I love it! Right now I am getting my fill of Big Brother. I have even lured Chris into my dark place. He mostly watched last season because Dick was such a jerk, but Chris is hooked. He's a dedicated viewer once again this season. Sadly, he was a fan of Matty who was kicked off a few weeks ago. I don't think I have a favorite. I find them all to be so obnoxious, yet I watch. Go figure. I obviously need some more excitement in my life. Girls who wear butt showing shorts, screaming matches, verbal abuse, crazy eyes, back stabbing, boys running around in their colored tighty whiteys (if tighty whiteys are colored, are they still called tighty whiteys?)---all in one episode! It is a gold mine. My second can't miss show is Housewives of Orange County or New York City. I really

Progress

I used to be prompt about scrapbooking in Claire's album. After seeing my sister's pictures piled up three children later, I was determined not to have the same fate. I am sure it is difficult for some of you to believe, but since Claire has been born, my free time has been limited. Really, it has. So, our pictures are finding their way into piles too--5 to be exact. However, I am thrilled to say that I finished (ok, they aren't completely finished, but nearly. I only have journaling to do.) six pages. Yes, that's right, I said SIX!! It was a major accomplishment. Here they are for your viewing pleasure. Only 5 more months left to get through....any volunteers? Jessica???
