We already had the joint birthday party, so Claire's birthday snuck up on us!! On October 1st, Claire turned 2!! Selfishly, I used to dream about the day when Wells would be 3 and Claire would be 2 because all of the parents of children close together would tell me...."Just wait until they are 3 and 2! It is so much fun then!" And I can't even believe it's gone by this quickly. I tried so hard not to wish away the precious baby phase, but it was hard not to when Claire was colic and we didn't sleep for 6 months. I can honestly say that to me, the magic age was when Wells turned 2 and Claire turned 1. It was just so much easier and so much fun!! They have played great together ever since!! I LOVE these funny and energetic ages. I feel so blessed that I get to be home with these two for these 5 quick years. At the same time, it's not ALL roses by any means!! We have Wells still having some terrible two moments and Claire is in full swing of them! So this creates lots of drama! But I wouldn't trade it for the world.
Claire is EXTREMELY independent these days. She says, "I do it" about everything! She also loves to dance and loves to sing. But let's just say we aren't holding our breath for her to become the next big star. It is so precious to hear her sing, but boy is she off key!! It's hilarious!!!!! And she sings LOUD. Now the dancing...she can move those hips! It's almost scary. She still loves her daddy something fierce. I often look like the evil stepmother out in public because she refuses to come to me when he is around. Oh well, at least Wells loves me! She is talking ALL the time. She is starting to play dress up, which is really fun!! Her Yaz gave her a basket full of tiaras, boas, outfits, cowboy boots, etc. and she is LOVING It! My mom also gave her precious clothes. This girl loves her clothes already! We truly can't believe she is 2 and we can't imagine our lives without this little spitfire! What joy and drama she brings on a daily basis!! We love her so much! Happy birthday to you sweet Claire bear!!
In true Sheheane fashion, we spent the weekend with Chris having bronchitis and Claire having ear infections, but here are pics.
She got a new kitchen for her birthday (the old plastic one kept falling on the children...quite the safety hazard)

Poor Chris stayed home and coughed all morning.
