Claire loves guys, she is drawn to them. She cries and cries in nursery and stops immediately when the nursery leader's husband comes in. She will talk to complete strangers... but only if they are men. I give credit to the wonderful men in her life that have given her these feelings of love and security. She has an incredible father, fabulous grandpas and uncles, and a brother that adores her. Claire loves her men.Claire also loves the moon. She likes the "baby moon" (said in a baby voice) and the BIG MOON (said in a monster voice). There was a show on TV called "Bear in the Big Blue House" that Claire 
would watch for quite awhile (long enough for me to shower and get ready... gotta love those shows!). In this particular program, there is a character called Luna and she is (appropriately) the moon. At the end of the show, she sings a goodbye song with Bear and Claire LOVES this song. Each night, we would look out the window, try to find the moon and sing this song.

Over Thanksgiving, my parents were here visiting from Washington and my dad (Papa) mentioned his love for the moon as well. This is now Claire and Papa's special thing. The moon + Papa = sheer joy for Claire every night. When it becomes dark outside, my little Claire runs into the backyard to find their special moon. The Bear in the Big Blue House song has now been 
replaced with a sweet "Hi Papa Moon" said in her cute two-year-old Claire voice. Papa also says goodnight to Claire each night as he sees the moon overhead. Whenever I speak to my Dad about this special new tradition, he gets a little choked up and you can hear the love in his voice for his little girl. Who knew that the moon could make life so wonderful for a little girl and her Papa?
