Claire is 4

Happy Birthday to my darling Claire!

We had a great birthday party with friends from the neighborhood, church, family, and Blake's co-workers (who invited Claire to be their flower girl).  It was a Princess Party.  If Disney made plates and dolls in Jasmine it would have been a Princess Jasmine Party.  The other princesses were acceptable.  Sheesh.



That night we had a visit from the Binky Fairy (who took away the pacifiers and left presents).   She had a few meltdowns for the first 3 days afterward saying she wasn't 4 any more and tried to put the prizes under her pillow to get them turned back into binkies, but on day 4 she said, "Hey, Mom!  I don't need my binky to sleep!"  Hooray!
The last night.  Getting one last fill.

Many dimes and Disney Princess Lipgloss (she wrote the Binky Fairy and asked for pink & red lipstick)

And we took her 4 year old pictures this week.  Her Keroppi outfit is the one that gets worn first every time we do a new load of laundry.  The princess dress has been worn every day since her birthday.


She was standing on stairs and told us she was getting a book from the library shelf.  Doesn't she just look like she's in Princess land?


And now she's 4.  I hung up a 5T sweater in her closet today.  I have a child big enough to wear kid clothes.  Amazing.

  1. Very cute. I love the princess dress. I'm glad Ruby hasn't outgrown the princess phase yet. I'm sure it'll happen any time now and I'll be so sad. We had problems with binkies, too. It's so liberating once you get rid of them, though.
