before easter (yes i know this is late in going up, but ive been distracted by reading free nook books, what can i say), grandma kelly came to visit us for a few days to soak up some quality time with claire. the weather was still pretty chilly so we couldnt do much outside but grandma kelly and claire were still able to have lots of fun together.
the day before she came to visit i saw claire at daycare playing with a xylophone and all the teachers were saying she really likes that and loves music time each week. well apparently grandma kelly is psychic because claires easter gift was a box of musical instruments. there was a triangle, tambourine, maracas, a clapper thing and another one i dont know the name too. she showed claire how to use each one and she has been loving playing with them ever since. she even got so excited about her tambourine that she went over elmo and head/eye first into it. giving her her first official "black" eye. even though it was hardly noticeable. but still.
the next day they dyed easter eggs together. claire was a big help. (when she wasnt playing in the water on her highchair or trying to eat the eggs)
