Claudia had fun playing Old Maid with Uncle Mark. They played lots of games. Uncle Mark seemed to almost always end up with the Old Maid.

Claudia did lots of drawing, taking care of horses, and hanging out with Mimi. She got to go to Uncle Tyler's restaurant and even got a tour of the kitchen. She thought that was "really cool!"

"i went to tylers restaurant" -- Claudia typed that.

Claudia has had a week without fever and seems to be fully recovered. Now Molly is sick...

We had her first parent conference and everything went well. She is hitting all her marks and is at least at grade level for everything which is good since she is the youngest in the class. School still wears her out. She is pretty grumpy after school and sometimes it takes until Sunday before the regular Claudia comes back.

Right now she is practicing piano with Kasey. She is doing really well, but she is too young to really work on it by herself. She can pretty much read the notes and rhythms. Miss Eileen is her teacher and she has a lesson every couple of weeks.

Still sick with fever. Threw up this morning for the first time ever. Hoping to head to doctors this morning.

Claudia has a fever. She rarely gets sick. She rarely complains when sick either. She just kind of curled up on the couch for awhile. No school for her tomorrow. We are heading to NYC for Radio City show on Thursday. Cross your fingers....

We had to take Claudia to the dentist. Something seems to be wrong with her teeth.

Claudia spent a good 2-3 hours raking leaves today with her Cousin Riley. They are a really good team and Claudia loves working with him. When she starts working on something she is very focussed and works hard.

She got a medal today for soccer (one more game) and has been playing very well. I love that she runs on and off the field all the time when the coach substitutes. Hustles at every play.
