Our sabbatical is coming to an end

This year I spent most of my time with Claire and Camille and I learned a lot about them. 

Claire is confident and creative and slightly mischievous. She loves the older, goofy boys. She is imaginative. She has a sense for spatial design. She loves flowers, drawing, singing and dressing up. She still has a hard time managing her frustrations and this can push my buttons. Ah, but we're working on it. 

Camille is a fire cracker. She is cheerful in the mornings, and is happy to compromise "let's do your diaper and then go outside and play." OKAY, she yells! She is silly and fun but also does things that Claire never did - like sing "poopy" songs, write on walls, throw sand at strangers....ugh! She likes to "rest", and "draw" and "play" and loves to chit chat.
