State of the Union

The big news in our house this week centers around Claire. She has kicked her diaper habit and is now wearing 'big girl underwear.' We couldn't be happier. She filled up a sticker chart over the past week and got a special treat from the store. She picked a Theodore doll and is working towards Simon with her next chart.

Our sitter texted me this photo of Kyle on Friday. He looks way too big here to be my little guy. I couldn't believe he sat on this truck!

I looked back at the blog to see what Claire was up to at 8 months and came across a video of her playing with pots and pans. I gave some to Kyle this weekend and he was a big fan. I always need ways to entertain him while I make meals.

On Saturday we had the opportunity to go to a Barack Obama fundraiser. Thanks to Mimi, who babysat, Lucian, Spen and I could go. I have never seen a president (past or present) in person, so I was pretty excited. We had very close seats and, you know, he looks just like he does on TV;)
