I gave Claudia an email extension (it attaches to my mail) so she can practice writing and reading messages. Let me know if you want to be a pen pal.

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.
