Hats and Bags and Shoes, Oh My!
We call Clare "Accessory Girl" because she is obsessed with hats, bags, and especially SHOES! She always wants to be wearing shoes (especially her Crocs) and is unhappy whenever her parents are barefoot. When we are out in public, she loudly proclaims SHOES if she notices interesting footwear on anyone who passes by. The other day we were in the JC Penney shoe department and she was in heaven. She probably would have played for hours with the kids shoe display on the wall.
In addition to hats, bags and shoes, Clare loves to be outside and to walk (or RUN) along the sidewalk. She especially loves to walk the quarter mile from our house to the nearby grocery/drugstore and shout "Hi" and "Bye" to everyone we pass.
FATHERS DAY FUN
We went to the zoo on Father's Day (June 17) - It was Clare's first time. She didn't seem to notice the animals too much. She was more interested in pushing her stroller (she loves this and could do it for miles) and in her 4-year-old friend Charlie who accompanied us. Charlie was an excellent tour guide (he knows the DM Zoo well). Hopefully we can go back with him when Clare is a bit more clued in!
We also broke out our little swimming pool for the season:
