buddies

Ethan and Claire have such a special friendship -- it's really adorable. At the beginning of the summer, Claire was a bit hesitant with Ethan, as Elliot had been her comrade-in-arms most of the days last school year. But Ethan has worked hard to wiggle his way to her affections, and now they are so sweet together (and Ethan makes a terrific babysitter -- hooray!). It's sufficient to say that they're going to miss seeing each other when school starts up again soon.
