Every night as we get to bed Claudia will say "We better hurry up--it'll be Friday soon".  She always gets the day right.

One of her heroes is definitely Julie who runs on the cross country team.  After we turn the lights off at night she likes to hear stories and she likes to hear stories about Julie and how fast she runs.  

She is watching some news and recognizes Barack Obama and John McCain.  She points it out whenw e hear their names on the radio.

Today she went to Monkey Business and "only cried a little bit".  Hopefully that will improve.  She had a couple rough weeks being there by herself in big girl land.
