It's been how long since this got updated???

Hey world, looks like I've fallen behind a little bit on the updates.  So much has been going on since I last spoke to the cyberworld.  The Claire rang in the new year at Nana and Pawpaw's house and fell in love with a new snack - Pacheetos (As Pawpaw described it, "it's like a potato chip, but it's a cheeto").  Soon after our New Year began, we had to say good bye to Poppy, Claire's great-grandfather, who passed away in January. Fortunately, Claire got to spend some time with him before his unexpected passing.

The Claire began what the humans referred to as "potty training", but let's call it what it is: she's using the human's litter box. She was also able to convince them to deconsruct the cage she used to sleep in and now she's got a pretty sweet napping station that she calls her "big girl bed".  She enrolled in ballet classes and came home to try to teach me a thing or two.  I'm pretty light on my feet if I do say so myself.

She's an actual little human now.  She speaks her mind and even displays a little (read: A LOT) of attitude from time to time.  She LOVES Disney princesses and takes every opportunity she can to act and dance.  She's kind and considerate and even has some decent manners when asking for things she wants.  I don't know where she got that from.  My next post is going to feature some of the highlights from her first year of school, so be on the lookout for that later this week.  I can't put everything into words, but luckily I've got pictures and videos to help me.

I'm going to be updating the blog with a video of the week.  (Inspiration from our friends at seidenblog.com - check them out!)
