Fashionista

Clara is becoming interested in fashion. Not really, probably more interested in putting on articles of clothing all by herself. Sometime it makes for funny outfits. This is a onesie she tried to put over the outfit she was already wearing.

She is also very interested in Mommy's makeup. If Mommy isn't good about putting her makeup away or hiding her purse, Clara will usually get her hands on a tube of lip gloss as seen below. She is always very mad when she is caught and the lip gloss is taken away.



Eventually I had to get Clara her own "makeup"



My favorite is when Clara decides to clomp around in Mommy's shoes. Who knew walking in high heels could come so naturally!

Over the river and through the woods

Also in May 2011, Clara spent a week with Grandma and Papa Rogers in West Virginia while Clark and I took a trip to Washington D.C. Clara loves playing with Grandma on the organ or piano




One of her favorite parts about Grandma and Papa's house is their little playhouse in the back yard. Meals and naps were a little more difficult because first you had to drag Clara (usually kicking and screaming) out of the playhouse. It was so cute to see her play - things are always more fun when they are just your size!

Cupboard under the stair

These pictures and video were taken in May 2011. Clara was still referring to herself as "Caca" now she calls herself "Cawa." But for the longest time her favorite place to be while Mom was cooking in the kitchen was this little cabinet where I keep our Tupperware. It reminded me of Harry Potter and his cupboard under the stair. One of her favorite games to play is still a form on hide and seek where she hides and Mom is supposed to say "Where's Clara?" and she pops out and we all say "There she is!".
