Only one week into 2023?

 Claire

School started back up on Wednesday and she was excited to get to go back to her friends and teacher. They picked up right where they left off and we’ve been doing homework and getting back to our routine. It seems like she is getting better at sharing and worse and tattling. If Shay does something bad Claire will say “I just need to go tell mommy I love her” and then come to me and immediately tattle on Shay. I like knowing if something bad is happening but it doesn’t feel right that she is lying so blatantly to her sister. There was one morning that we had almost all girls at the gym and they were being so cute watching Beauty and the Beast that we let them move the couches and get blankets.

Shay

She was so excited to go to primary today! As we were walking to church she kept asking if she can go again this week. Her teacher even said Shay is her favorite because she loves how excited she gets about participating. Since her favorite color was blue, she went through a phase where she liked characters with blue hair from TV shows like Ladybug, Hilda, and True. She finally has more colors she likes but for Christmas, she got a coloring book with the Ladybug character with a mask and has been asking me to make a mask for the other characters for her birthday. She’s definitely into super hero’s more than Claire is!

Us

Chris had some days off because New Year's Day was on Sunday and their clinic was closed on Monday but it made the other days pretty busy for him. He experienced taking Claire to school on Thursday to give me time to work out after work. He has started a month of low carb and has finally been suffering like I used to when I was on my diet. I've been on an appetite suppressant and haven't suffered as much the past 2 months but now we can suffer together as a couple...so romantic.
