Mommy and MC time…
One of my most favorite times of the day is when I pick up Mary Clare from Ms. Susan’s house. Mary Clare and I have a bit of Mommy & MC time alone before the chaos begins. (Which is when I pick McCanless up from school at 2:30!)
Mary Clare is growing so fast and learning so much every day. I love watching her explore and discover her world. Today, I was in the kitchen unloading the dishwasher while she was in the playroom. She heard me open it, and came running. For some reason she loves to climb in it! She rounded the corner of the kitchen wearing one of McCanless’ dress-up hats, which she does so often. I laughed and decided to follow her around a bit with my camera. Here is what happened…
She loves to play peek-a-boo and was crouching below our “tub-O-babies” and popping up to scare me. Notice her two new front teeth. She now has three on the bottom and five on top and one huge tooth coming in the back. (Mel says we have “orally challenged” children. I think it looks like she is going to have that McCanless gap!) He also thinks it is a bit humorous that my most recent obsession, The Twilight Saga, a book series, is all about vampires, something I’ve never read about until my child began to resemble one!
Mary Clare loves her books and wanted me to read to her for a while. After I read this book, she sat down in her chair and flipped through it herself. I asked her to show me the yellow circle and she pointed right to it. I guess she’ll eventually talk when she wants to. I’ve learned that this is how my baby girl likes to do things. Nothing is ever as I expect, it is always her own way and in her own time.

Ker–she is sooo cute. I love the toothy smile and cheeks. What a blessing she is. I am glad you get to spend some time with her alone. I know the two of them together is great too. I can’t wait to see how Molly and her brother play together.

Kerri & Mel,
Your girls are so beautiful and full of life. It is a blessing for me to see you all doing so well. I love keeping up with you all on the blog, and although I don’t see you much, I think of you often.
