Yankee Game

Claudia went to her first Yankee game yesterday. She sat through a rain delay and had gotten there for batting practice so by the time the game had started she had been waiting four hours. Best kid ever.

And then the Yankees hit a home run in the first inning! Claudia got so excited.

Handstands

Claudia did a handstand in the pool yesterday.  Today (rain permitting) she is going to a Yankee game.  What a life!

Museum

Its really hot today.  We had a lot of fun going to New Haven and going to the Yale Art Museums.  Nice and cool and the girs were really good.  Lots of fun.

Dinner

When we went to dinner at the Waybury Inn there was no power. They set up lots of candles. It was a nice dinner and the first time we went there. Claudia really liked that they had nachos.

Claudia loves taking care of the horses.  She rode twice and spent about an hour in the barn every day brushing and feeding.  Big confidence booster.

She also drove the Gator all around.  She's very proud of that.

Last Day of Kindergarten

Mac and Cheese

Claudia had a fun time tonight cooking dinner.  She choose Macaroni and cheese and we made it from scratch.  She wanted spinach with it.  She did a great job.  It was very good!

Kindergarten

Kindergarten is coming to a close.  Claudia has her play this Wednesday.  She's a fish.

She hits the wiffle ball real well.  I don't feel too safe pitching.  She can smoke it.

Claudia has been enjoying the visit from Mimi this week. She even took a train to NYC! She was so excited for Mimi to visit and see her at gymnastics and to get her off the bus.

Mothers Day

Mothers Day brunch. I made a reservation for Mothers Day brunch which is normally in the big ballroom with a few hundred people.

Well, they took the reservation, but there was no Mothers Day brunch. However, they had a some other kind of brunch buffet so it all worked out in the end. We had the place to ourselves.

Claudia had a special treat today.  She got to go to Fun Factor with her teacher, Mrs. Beebe-Center and three of her classmates, Maggie, Katie & Madeleine!
She had a blast!  There were treats, games and lots of bouncing :)
She had beautiful weather for soccer this weekend too.  She seems to be really enjoying soccer this season and has made huge improvements.  The Pink Flowers seem to be getting better and better every game.  Her team may even be marching in the Memorial Day parade on Monday!

Claudia is pretty excited that Mimi is coming up next week. She also is excited that her two favorites made it to the final of American Idol. She has watched it each week.
