What's this all about? Stuff you've missed The SCDC philosophy
Growing up

You will be very pleased to know that 2002 is turning out to be Clare's best year yet. Yes, she has learned to walk, and she has also learned to talk, and she is 100% comfortable distinguishing between "up" and "down."

She has also learned to teleport from one room to another. (Note to skeptics: there is a video clip for proof.)

Would you like to see some pictures now?

Okay.
