Face Forward




We started last week with some beautiful pictures. There is a series of these I snapped that I just love because Clara's eyes just pop.

Then this happened on Monday. This is a bite. A human bite. On her face. And actually, this was taken before it it took a turn for the worse. The next day it turned a lovely bruised-purple shade. I love daycare.



And then, with the bite almost gone, Greta deemed it necessary to draw on Clara. With a red pen. I knew it was too good to be true when they were playing in her room. Quietly. There are about 8 more of these x's on her arms and legs as well.

I don't have a picture of it, but Friday she came home with some more red marks on her face, because she ran into a chainlink fence at school while going down a small hill. It wasn't bad enough to photograph, but it's the principle of it all. So, don't ever ask if we go through spells where there are not a lot of pictures of Clara. Because, besides the fact that she does not like to get photographed, clearly there are many instances when she is a little too banged up to be in front of the camera.

  1. The top picture is really good, I need to print that one out, and the bottom photo the look on her face is hilarious!!!! I love it! If she didn't have pen marks on her face, I don't know, would it be as good? She's working it. -nick
