As soon as we got out our Nativity set today, Clara became a wee bit obsessed. She carried Jesus and Mary (along with other assorted members) around with her all day.
In case you can't tell, that's Mary in her left hand and baby Jesus, two sheep and Baby Joy in her right arm.
Clara and Jesus had some intense conversations throughout the day. She told him his birthday is coming. I'm not sure what she was telling him here. (Note Mary close by.)
Several other members of the Nativity joined in on the couch. I came and read Alfie and Annie Rose to all of them.
Although this picture is blurry, I love how it shows the care and tenderness with which she handled baby Jesus all day.
Jesus, Mary and the sheep joined us for lunch. She tried to share her soup with them but I told her they could just watch her eat and she had to pretend to share, no really give soup to them.
I did let her "share" her muffin with the Holy Family after her nap, though. After all, she said they were hungry.
This was our compromise for her wanting to carry them all around the house and me worrying about them getting dropped and broken. She has to carry their basket with two hands and be very gentle. She did a great job today! We'll see how it goes for the next month...
