Claire the Fish

For a little girl who was terrified of the water a year ago, Claire has become quite the fish. The swimming pool is one of her favorite places, and here are some pics from her lessons yesterday as part of her preschool program.

This week, Claire wraps up her first week in the new older Pre-Kindergarten class at her school. Below are some pics from her last week in the early Pre-K class, including her birthday party. The last three are her new class, and some highlights from this first week!
