So my wife and I take our 9 year old out for her birthday party after Thanksgiving.  She's stoked.  Claire is my Steddy Eddie of the family.  They're all great in their own way, but she is Ms. Steady Eddie.  Needless to say, you would have thought that we purchased the entire Chuck E Cheese franchise.  After the older brothers got tired, she kept on keeping on.  Here is mom helping our four year old by acting as a pair of training wheels.  Life doesn't get much better now does it? 12/14/2011
