Claire's Great Day

Claire's List
1. Sing Claire's Song (Check out on YouTube.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbIe0Y-HKPY
2. Go to Down Town Wheaton
3. Go to Claire's places
4. Go to Los Burritos for lunch
5. Hang out with Veronica

       After I wrote down Claire's plan for the first half of the day, she was ready to go. She needed a list to be able to accomplish anything, but once it was set, she was prepared to joyfully execute.
     Claire's song, which I wrote on her birthday, has moved up to the #1 spot on the Macdonald charts. It has been in very high demand recently. It gives her focus and motivation. Even when she is already in a very happy mood,the song makes her even happier!
       On our "adventure"-- as claire likes to call it -- we went to Down Town Wheaton. We made stops at Graham's Chocolates, the Popcorn Shop, and Starbucks. To everyones guess she got 2 dark chocolate non-paraels, 2 smarties, and a kids apple juice no ice. It was very predictable, but it was no less enjoyable for Claire which made it even more enjoyable for me.
       Taking Claire on an "adventure" is very rewarding because it gives her joy, and in return that joy overflows out of her to me and it makes me proud of her and happy that she is happy.
     Claire had a great day today! If Claire didn't have something like her list to rely on today, she wouldn't have been able to accomplish anything. But because of that structure, she was able to excel and have a great day!
