Our sweet little Clara has turned five now. This picture is very "her". We were at the park and she took a break for art. She loves helping and it can be hard to accommodate that, but she loves helping me with everything I do and especially cooking. She is quite independent and prefers to go to the bathroom by herself in public places and get things out of the fridge herself and things like that. Not all of the things she wants to do are okay, so it's always a balance of letter her be free and keeping her safe. She enjoys things involving balance and coordination, like walking on balance beams, gymnastics, and roller skating. I think she will enjoy learning to ride a two-wheeled bike in the spring. She remains very social and gets along well with her friends and makes friends with pretty much everyone she meets. She likes helping younger kids and telling them what to do (usually in a good way). She doesn't like gross-out humor like the other kids, but she does love being silly and laughing. She loves art and her drawing skill has grown so much this year. She is 40.5 inches tall and weighs 31 lbs. She has recently gotten to the 2nd percentile of weight, which she hasn't been that high since she was two months old, so that's exciting. We love her to pieces and she brightens our life in so many ways.
