October 1 will be another milestone for us. Claire will be 18 months old and will be joining the other kids in nursery on Sundays. We are looking forward to this. Well Scott mostly because he takes care of her for 2 of the hours at Church.
We have decided to start her in day care. She loves it there. We have made this decision for the benefit of her and Scott. Scott has been working graveyard shifts for the past year so he can watch her during the day while I work. This has become too much for his platter since Claire is now awake most of the day. Lasting for 17 months like this worked pretty good. The day care also does a preschool program. I receive text message updates throughout the day from the providers to let me know how Claire is doing.
Claire's vocabulary is expanding slowly, but she knows when she is leaving and stands close to the door waving both hands sometimes and almost shouts, "bye bye". She also says, "night night" and a few other things. Her hair is growing, it is long enough to put a hair clip in her hair.
We love Claire so much, we are so proud of her. She seems to be better for other people than for us. We recently took her to the Doctor because she had been crying for about two hours straight (she rarely cries longer than a minute). So of course we get to the office and she stopped crying the entire time at the Doctor's.
