Claire - 21 months

My dear Claire,

You are now 21 months old and a joy and treasure to me. You love to play with your dolls and carry your blanket around with you everywhere...even from room to room in our house!
The main thing I wanted to share with you is the special time we've had together lately. This month (it's happened almost everyday), you've been waking up from your nap a little earlier than your brother and sister.
When you wake up, you want to sit in my lap for about 30 min. We talk and laugh and you tell me you love me and you hug and kiss me. I know you won't remember this time we've been sharing but as your mother, few things give me greater joy than this. I love you my sweet girl.
Mommy
