Birthday Girl

My Clair Bear turned 6 this week.

It is truly hard to believe.

She still has the brilliant blue eyes and radiant smile (although a little forced in this photo) that she had on her first day of life. Her rosy cheeks and contagious giggle bring a lot of joy to our family. Clair can impersonate anyone. When reading a book aloud she has more inflection and energy than most thespians I know. Sometimes her drama can be taken to an extreme, especially when there has been an act of injustice. We have loved watching our little Madelynn Clair blossom into her own in Kindergarten. She is learning what it looks like to be a good sister and friend, how to express her own creativity, how to have self control and when to just laugh:) Clair is an exceptional reader, tenacious monkey bar climber, prolific artist, magnificent storyteller, expressive ballerina, and cuddly middle daughter.

We love you, Clair.
