- Hi, it's me, Clara! And you guessed it,
I'm going to tell Clara's life story.
With the help of Cody of course.
Hi Cody! You ready to draw?
Okay here we go, woo hoo!
I was born in New York City on January 30, 2012.
My mom said that the cab ride to get to the hospital
was pretty terrible. Sorry Mom.
After I was born, we lived in a teeny tiny apartment
in Brooklyn.
Then when I was six months old, I flew across the country
with my mom and my grandma to Seattle.
My dog Dexter even came on the airplane. Woof woof!
My parents told me that when I was a baby I was really fat.
My legs were so big they used to get stuck
in the Bumbo chair.
My parents had to work together to pop me out.
One of my favorite things to do as a baby
was to be carried around in a little pack,
facing out to see the world.
The whole world was my oyster.
Once we were all settled in Seattle,
my parents bought a house!
And I started going to daycare.
I used to cry every time my parents dropped me off.
When I turned three by baby brother Theo was born.
- [Interviewer] Does Theo ever cry?
- Yes, he cries a lot. Ga ga ha.
My parents brought him home with a pizza.
When he was brand new, his face was really red.
And we used to call him Mr. Tomato Face.
Sorry, Theo.
Every summer I go to Montana.
We go swimming and hiking and we see the animals
and geysers in Yellowstone Park. Psshhww!
When I turned four, I was finally big enough
to ride a horse. Neigh!
I think his name was Blackdog or maybe it was Blackie.
I also love going to our beach cabin.
At the cabin there's a super soft chair,
that we like to read books in.
I have so many great memories at the cabin.
One time I made a little ant house of sticks.
Another time, mouse came in and pooped on the counter.
(giggles)
In the summer we go crabbing.
And now I even know which ones are boys and girls,
just by looking at the bottom.
Triangle for boys and the girls sort of has
a circle-y thing on it.
I love catching crabs, but I love eating them more.
I'm lucky that my Grandma and Grandfather live close by.
And they take me on adventures.
Once we all went to Hawaii and I got to go snorkeling.
Bubble bubble bubble.
I saw so many different kinds of fish,
like Nemo fish and turtles. I like turtles.
Now I'm six and I started kindergarten this year.
Sometimes we get blue stars and popcorn.
- [Interviewer] What's a blue star?
- For doing so good, that's what it means.
I learned to ski this year!
And I like it because you get to whoosh so fast.
Whoosh, whoosh.
It almost feels like you're flying.
I got to ski on one ski first
and then I got to ski on two skis, yeah!
I'm still working on that pizza thingy.
I'm not so sure about that, it doesn't work every time.
Another one of my favorite things is
to play with my friends.
Isa, Anica, Allie,
and Ava,
other Ava.
- [Interviewer] You've got a lot of friends.
- Yeah, I do. And my mom.
I love to swim and I take lessons at my school.
I even learned to dive.
- [Interviewer] What does that look like?
- No you actually do this.
Cowabunga!
I also really love the book "Charlie Box Brown".
We read it at school.
It's about segregation and a man that escaped the South
by hiding in a box.
- [Interviewer] Is that true? It's a true story?
- Yeah it's a true story.
Oh and I can't forget about hiho, my daddy's friends
with Ernie's daddy and that's how I started hiho.
I'm excited to grow up.
I want to be a lawyer, because my mom's a lawyer.
And she goes to jail almost every day to help people.
I want to be just like her.
Thank you guys, I hope you learned something new about me.
And thanks Cody for drawing.
