Claire's Spring Sing

Ok, so first the Spring Fling and now the Spring Sing.... goodness! Way to confuse a mom of 3! All within a weeks time... anyway - Thursday night was Claire's Spring Sing. She got to sing on the stage with her classmates. She is so funny. She will act like the craziest nut at home, but when it's time to get on stage - she freezes! Ha! She's going to be like me unfortunately. I mean, I am the one who graduated from A&M without EVER giving a presentation. Don't ask me how because I will have to divulge my secrets that are not pretty. This had an unfortunate affect after I graduated because I actually had to get a real job. It wasn't until my last job at Baker that I think I finally got over the "I want to kill myself" feeling before I would give a presentation! :)

More about Claire... she makes this adorably cute face with her lips. She pooches them out. It's a nervous thing. I'm posting my first video clip on the blog. It was taken with my camera and turned out really fuzzy, but here goes anyway. Check out what she does with her mouth. Too cute. The show started at 7pm and I got there at 5:45 to get front row. I thought for sure that I wouldn't be the only crazy mom up there that early, but come to find out I was. Sad... And then, I was really frusterated because the teacher didn't put Claire on the front row so I could get a clear shot of her with my video camera. Who does Mrs. Jean she think she is anyway!?! Ha! :)

On a side note... the custest little boy with the plaid shirt on the front row is Ian (totally blocking my view of Claire by the way). About a month ago, Claire came home and said Ian was her boyfriend. At 4? She was so cute about it all until Daddy and I started the teasing. She doesn't like that very much and has since become so shy around him. It is the cutest thing I have ever seen. Thursday after the show, Ian said "Bye Claire!" and she wouldn't even look at him. I was saying "look Claire, there's Ian!" I was trying to push her towards him but she wouldn't budge. Maybe Dan and I should stop teasing...? Nah!!! Never!!!

Ok, since we are on the subject of Claire I have to give one last update... I had to tell her a couple of nights ago that if she was going to continue to pick and eat her boogers to please keep it at home. I went on to suggest that if she does it around people at school they may tease her and I don't want to see her get her feelers hurt. What else should I do? I've tried the whole... don't pick your boogers, that is disgusting, they are bad for you, you will turn into a booger... I hope this will at least turn her into a closet booger eater...? She did tell me Thursday when she got home from school that she didn't pick or eat her boogers at school! Yipee! She was so excited and proud of herself. Priceless.

Ok, so here goes the clip where she is really nervous at first (don't know who she was, but the little girl in the pink dress was HILARIOUS)


Here's another where she started to participate a little
