Clara Conversations
Convo #1:
Clara (touching Daddy’s scruffy chin): Your beard.
Daddy: Haha.
Clara: I don’t have my beard. I just have my little chin.
Convo #2:
Clara: Mommy’s a good big girl. And I’m a good little girl. And daddy is a good big boy. I don’t want a little boy. I want a little girl.
Mommy: What do you mean? You mean you want a sister? Like Elsa?
Clara: Yeah.
Mommy: What will her name be?
Clara: Her name will be Santa Claus and she will bring me toys.
Convo #3:
Clara (changing the words to a song while holding a plastic chicken): Baa baa black sheep, have you any chickens?
Convo #4:
Clara (on fireflies): I love those silly buggies. They make the light in your hand.
Convo #5:
Daddy: Good morning! What did you dream about?
Clara: Gee was being a bad boy and teasing me. (Gee is Clara’s stuffed giraffe that she takes everywhere)
Daddy: Uh oh, do you need me to talk to Gee? That’s not nice.
Clara: No daddy. It was just a dream!

Too cute, love Clara conversations! I had a cousin who used to say “Santa Clause” when you asked who her best friend was.
So cute!

SHERRY OMG ARE YOU PREGNANT?!?!
just kidding :)
Haha, not pregnant!!

I wish I had a sister named Santa Claus that brings me toys!
Does that mean that Clara is now officially in Christmas countdown mode?!?! Me too!
Seriously! I think she is!

Aww so cute. My almost three year old said recently “I want to go see Santa…..Santa is not a good name” :) haha
Hahha!

These are so wonderful! Thank you for sharing and lighting up my day!
Okay–the Santa Clause one made me laugh hard! How will y’all ever deliver??
Seriously! She’s in for such a disappointment whenever we bring another kid into her life…

omg #2 had me in stitches
AWESOME! I’m expecting and my son, who’s two, has named our baby “uncle santa clause.” We totally haven’t talked about santa or even really did christmas last year so I have no idea how he knows who he is!
He’s going to be sorely dissapointed when “uncle baby santa clause” is not the baby’s name.
I’m so glad that my son hasn’t yet realized that Christmas is coming because as it is right now he wakes up every day and asks if it is “hello-leen”. It’s super cute (especially b/c it is also my sister’s birthday, so it’s usually followed by a declaration that there will be a party for “kaka”) but I don’t think that I could handle 10 weeks of asking if it was Christmas yet!!
Love, love, love Clara conversations and thank you for sharing these precious little gems.
Hahah! Hello-leen is so cute!

Smart girl!!!
This conversations about siblings’ names reminds me that when I was pregnant with Baby #2, my 6 year old was a big fan of the show “Kids Incorporated”. She wanted to name our baby Stacy after Stacy Ferguson on the show. We could have had a Fergie!!! Thankfully, we didn’t have to disappoint her. The baby’s name is Kyle!! He’s now 22 and I’m sure he’s glad he’s not Fergie.
Haha- so funny!!

PS I love the Clara Conversations!!!!!
I am continually impressed by her vocabulary! My daughter is four months younger. Wow!
Clara posts always brighten my day. She is an angel!!
So cute… the little girl is growing up…
Love the adorable conversations – always make me smile. Thanks for sharing!
First: your second child better have a long white beard… or else! LOL! Second: nice lesson for John that dreams are not real. Duh! This was super fun!
Haha!

SANTA CLAUS!! Thanks for making my morning :-)
So cute! She is really bright and I love to get a glimpse of how her little mind works. My son is two and a half and I have begun writing down the funny or clever things that he says and I have so enjoyed being able to go back and read through them. Some of them really amaze me, but mostly I fall into fits of giggles all over again.
Just last weekend, he went out of town with my parents. They had to attend a funeral while there. During the ceremony while the upbeat old hymns were being played on the piano, he turned to my mother and whispered “Hey Bebe, wanna dance?” As a former competative dancer, what can I say?! The apple doesn’t fall from the tree.
That’s awesome. He knows a good dancing song when he hears one, I guess!

She’s so funny! She just cracks me up!
That kid is HILARIOUS!
Love the Santa Claus story :)
When I was four my mom was pregnant with my brother and sister (twins). When asked what they should name them I gave them two options.
1. Kate and Allie for two girls after the 80s TV show.
2. Mickey and Minney for a boy and a girl.
Four year old me was not open to having two little brothers, so there was no third option.
Ha! Now that begs the question, did she go with any of your suggestions?
-John
So cute, I laughed out loud
The firefly comment is very Borat-esque! Too funny!
I love these conversations and I want a little sister named Santa Clause that will bring me gifts as well!
I’m impressed that she understands that it was just a dream, and the Gee wasn’t to blame. What a smart little girl, you must be doing a good job teaching her about the world!
These are possibly my favorite posts! Clara is such a ham! She cracks me up!! Thanks for always sharing!
Haha, I am dying at the “Her name will be Santa Claus and she will bring me toys!” She is a feisty one!
Great stuff comes out of the mouths of babes :) Thanks for my daily laugh! Clara is such an articulate little girl — my cousin has two boys (3 & 4), and they don’t talk half as much. And what they do say is normally about Spiderman.
Love the Santa Clause convo! Last week I heard my daughter (2 and a half) on the monitor after waking from her nap saying: “Santa Clause is going to bring me a beautiful costume so I can be a princess, turn Mama into a Prince and Dada into a king. That’s a good plan.”
LOL. The “good plan” line had me dying over here.
-John
I love these!
This morning, my little man just babbling along…”Mom, when it snows your are going to say WAKE UP IT’S CHRISTMAS!…and then I will get alot of toys because you’ll tell Santa, Jason is a good boy.” Funny how he has it all worked out. ;-)
I just love conversations with kids…so stinkin cute!
Ha! He knows the drill.

I can’t tell you enough how awesome it is that you are writing down all the adorable things Clara says. I would give anything to go back in time and write down my kids’ cute & funny sayings. Now all I have are the few I managed to capture on home video. I tried to keep a journal but like most ridiculously busy moms…that got put on the back burner and now I can’t remember them for the life of me. Now I’ll just remember vicariously through Clara’s funny little comments.
Clara conversations are my favorite. The only little kid I ever see is my cousin’s 2 year old, Lylee. As adorable as she is, she doesn’t talk much :/
Clara is so smart! You guys are amazing parents.
That child… it must be so much fun to see what she’ll say next! :)
I think #5 should read “Gee was bEing a bad boy…”? (capital for emphasis)
Love this series. Please keep ‘em coming, Clara.
Thanks Randa! Fixed.

Oh the Santa line just melts my heart!
I almost spit out my coffee this morning while reading these. I can’t even pick a favorite, they’re all hilarious!
Clara is just too cute! i cant’ wait til our own daughter can string together entire sentences of silliness!
i love that you ask Clara what she dreamed about. that’s got to be a fun way to start the day and a good way to introduce important concepts like “pretend”, “not real”, and social interactions like teasing, etc. hope you don’t mind if we borrow that!
My nephew was about Clara’s age when my niece was born and whenever we would ask him about Mommy having the baby he’d say “yeah, her’s a pink present.” He was also convinced the the pink present would bring him a blue present and Mommy a purple present and Daddy a yellow present.
Cuteness overload!
So cute! I love those silly buggies that make light in your hand, too!
Clara always makes me smile!
Oh my, that Convo 5 melt my heart! And so clever!
Hahaha, these are all so cute! I love that you are recording them and sharing them with us. Clara is adorable!
Your Santa Claus story reminded me of a conversation involving my then 2 1/2 year old nephew. My husband and I were at my sister’s house watching a UK basketball game.
My husband (who is a UK fan): Go Big Blue!
My nephew: Noooooo!
My sister (who is a UofL fan): That’s right, who do we cheer for?
My nephew: Santa Claus!
We got a good laugh out of that one. :)
LOL!
-John
Awww, adorable!!!
(There were two typos: Claus not Clause and I think Gee was being not bring. It’s amazing how much you two do and post so only having two typos is quite the feat!)
Fixed! Thanks!
-John
I’m the little girl from Ann’s comment above who wanted to name my little brother after Fergie. I’d like to thank my mom for sharing that story with the whole Internet! :) We’re both everyday readers, so she obviously knew I’d see that.
These conversations are adorable – “I just have my little chin” is so cute!
Don’t worry, Kerry. I’m sure Clara will be thinking the same thing when she’s older and will be like “you told the whole Internet!?!” But as parents, I think it’s our duty to embarrass our kids. :)
-John
A little sister named Santa Claus! I die!! hahaha
I love Clara Conversations posts. She is too cute
These Clara Convos just keep getting funnier! #2 and #5 had me cracking up!
THESE ARE MY FAVORITE POSTS!! I love that little girl of yours!!
Convo #2 is HILARIOUS
