Clara's 4 Year Old Birthday Interview!

WOW, March 4th, huh?  That's a LONG time.  I've missed this here blog.  At times, it seemed too intimidating to post again after so long.  So much has happened ~ where do I start?  I also still have issues with importing pictures since my laptop died last year.  Yet, I have certain traditions on my blog that I love and the first on that list is the birthday interviews of my children.  Clara's birthday was in July but, hey, better late than never!  So, without further ado....

Blue

Rice & Beans

{On a trip to our favorite Mexican restaurant, we turned around to find Clara wearing our chip bowl as a hat.  She has an awesome sense of humor!}

Who are your favorite friends?  

Liam, Sarah, Luci & Sophia

{There is no question who owns Clara's heart.  Liam.  They both light up at the sight of each other.  When we drive them to school, they discuss their wedding, going to college together, their future house, etc.  It's ADORABLE!}

Family

A policeman, a teacher, a fireman, and and and and and a cross guard.

{My Aunt Brenda bought this little outfit for Clara for her birthday.  It quickly became her favorite and she wore it constantly.  And, I have to say, it was SO HER!  I have my fingers crossed it still fits when the weather gets warm next Spring.}

When you close your eyes, what do you see?

I see nothing.

What is your favorite pet?

It's kind of like a mouse and it's white and lives in the mountains.  A very cold mountain. And you go through a cave to get there.

What's your favorite treat?

Ice cream and a lollipop.

{On a particularly beautiful day, Clara & I hung out at our favorite fountain.  I gave her coins but told her she had to make a wish each time she threw one in.  She ran back and told me she wished for flowers and balloons.}

What five words would you use to describe yourself?

I like my family.


Oh Clara, you are a darling soul.  Your teachers always tell us that you have a BIG, BIG personality and it pleases us to know that you choose to share it with the wider world.  You are wicked smart and very charming.  One should not be deceived by your small size for you, my dear girl, are a force.  I hope you stay that way and use your many passions for good!

And next up...Sophie.  Let's just hope it doesn't take me another 9 months!

XOXOXO,
Audrey
