I don't know if I will ever be able to describe how much I love my children! Unfortunately, the English language does not have words adequate enough to describe the emotion I feel for them!
Claire recently turned 2 years old! I just thought I would make a post dedicated to her!
Right now, Claire is at the cutest, funnest age! She is also at the most trying, difficult age. I have actually had to start disciplining... :-( That is NOT my forte! I HATE it. The only way I can talk myself into doing it, is that I know that it is what is best for her and what will make her into the best person she can be. Luckily, it hasn't taken too much. She really loves to please and is so good at reasoning withl.
I wish so bad that Claire and I could just be best friends. I wish that I didn't have to be the mother, although at the same time, I couldn't handle the thought of not being her mom. Oh Motherhood! What conflicting emotions you bestow upon me!
All that being said I am soooo grateful to be her mother and to know this special spirit! She is an incredible person and has so much potentional. She is the person who turned me into a mother and she has taught me so much about being a mother. I just love her and I am so thankful for her presence in my life!
Oh and I am grateful for the joy she brings into our lives!
Here are just so more pictures of the many sides of Claire. One of her latest phases is, she is OBSSESSED with anything princess. She calls all princesses Thumbelina and she truly believes she is a Thumbelina, which she is and I fully support her in feeling that way! :-)
She loves to pose for pictures. She is such a goof!
Oh my! This is a perfect picture because it is 100% her!
Do you see why I am in love with this child? How could you not be?
The story behind this picture is funny. So we got out of the car after church and she ran up to the steps, turned around and sat down just like this and said, "Mom, picture of me, please!"
Oh, Claire Bear! I hope you never lose your love for life! I hope you can maintain your confidence in who Heavenly Father made you to be! We love you so much and are so grateful you came into our lives 2 years ago!
