Today was Luau Day at Clare’s school and they invited parents to join in the festivities. She was all excited in the morning knowing that I was going to come sit in one of her chairs at school. When I got there, she and I made our own leis by stringing flowers made of construction paper on colored string (Goddard School’s clever creativity as always) and snacked on pineapple and cheetos! 🙂 Other snacks too, but the cheetos were a big hit with Clare…”one more, Mommy, just one more.”

As we were leaving school, Clare noticed that I had painted my toenails and said she wanted “mine toes painted too, Mommy”. The nail salon was right around the corner so I took her in and the nice owner propped Clare up on a chair and went to town with some pretty pink nail polish. Clare sat as still as I’ve seen in a long time. She was very intriqued and content to watch her little feet get some pampering. It was a hit!
