Claire: Knock Knock
Me: Who’s there?
Claire: Banana
Me: Banana who?
Claire: Banana Owl!
At first, I laughed to be polite, but then the punch line hit me and I laughed for real. Get it? A banana that says “who” must be an owl!
…specifically a Banana Owl.
Ha!
I love 4-year olds.
I love these photos, individually and in succession.
…and so ends Ballet Week here at The Casual Perfectionist.
Until next time! Let’s take some advice from a little ballerina I know: “It’s important to find balance and be good at staying on your toes.” That sounds like a great plan to me! 
When we were looking at all the photos from the Ballerina Claire Photo Shoot, I was immediately drawn to one in particular.
My husband scoffed and said it had been over-done.
What? What is he talking about?
Okay, so he’s right. So, I’ve picked the “common tummy pose” before…more than once. I mean, the above are just a few examples…of the ones I had readily available. In the end, I agreed to forgo printing the common (albeit “ballerina”) tummy pose and saved that real estate for other poses in the collection.
Still, maybe it’s such a common pose because it’s awesome.
We had Claire’s Ballet Gala on Saturday and took her in for a Ballerina Photo Shoot on Sunday.
This time, rather than stick to the one-pose-only deal, Daddy bought Momma a set of photos for Mother’s Day. This time, we have a CD full of images, some of which we had printed, and others we only have in electronic form.
It’s so hard to choose, especially when given free reign. To be honest, they were all good, but we printed ones that show our little ballerina in ballerina-form. I’ll be posting little photos of our Ballerina all week. (Lucky you! *cough*)
When looking at the disc last night, I came across one of my favorite images that didn’t show Claire as a ballerina, but as Claire.
You know when you come across one that just captures a person’s true essence?
Well, here it is.
That look? That smile? The laugh that is just starting to bubble up, but it hasn’t escaped yet? The mischief brewing and plots thickening?
THIS is Typical Claire.
Three of these photos were taken three years ago. One of them was taken just the other day. In other news, the tulips are blooming! Someone is very excited about this…and always has been.
Click here to check out my post at Mile High Mamas today! Tell me what you think. I'm all ears!
I’d love to take a Fajita Field Trip to Spanish Johnny’s…who’s with me!?
I hope we see Libby and Hurley there.
I decided to walk Claire home from school today, rather than drive. I just had to take advantage of this gorgeous day! (It’s just a little bit windy today, as you can see by her hair and her “flowers” that she picked along the way… They say we’ll get gusts of up to 80-mph today!!)
What an awesome day! It’s sunny & warm! There’s not a cloud in the sky…
…because they’ve all blown away.
