Clair is turning into a communicative little person these days. I swear, seemingly over night, she is able to understand me. She also has her own ideas about how to do things and is pretty adamant about it. For example, if I am eating with her, she will get down off of her high chair and join me at the table kneeling on the chair next to me. Today she was amazing. I could ask her to do little errands, and she totally understood what I was asking and was tickled to show me that she could do it. I could also ask her if she wanted to do things by herself or if she wanted my help. Granted this is a little tricky given her limited vocabulary - I ask her yes or no questions. A very determined ‘NO’ means no, and a blank stare with the mouth slightly open, apparently, means yes. It was a slightly exhausting day because I am not used to having so much interaction with her on that level. She seemed to have been drained at the end of the day as well. I wonder what she will do tomorrow. I am hoping for lots of sleep…..

Anyway, I took this photo today to show how she sits with me at the table. This is why there are constant piles of laundry at our place. I have started stripping her down to eat sometimes because there is really no point in dressing her to eat unless I feel like changing her directly afterwords.

This is why we have so much laundry
