These are a few pictures taken of Chloe on her 1st birthday!

February 23, 2006

We cannot believe our little girl is 5! We have had so much fun with her! She makes us laugh all the time with the things she says. I wish I wrote down everything she said! These are a few things from this month:

She is very particular about what she wears. She feels that she must wear a dress or skirt…no jeans or shorts. She says she does not look like a princess when she has jeans on. Of course I wear jeans all the time, and she comes up to me and says, “Mommy, you still look like a princess even though you have jeans on.” That’s our sweet girl.

She likes her hair a certain way. When I put it up for gymnastics, I sometimes try to put it in a little bun, but she won't let me get away with that! If her hair is up, it has to be hanging down. If I wear my hair up, she will say, "That's ok if you want to wear your hair that way. You look better the other way, but can you do that if you want."

Chloe: Mommy, my eyes keep trying to close, and I don’t want them to.
Mommy: Well, Chloe, maybe you need a nap.
Chloe: No, I am NOT sleepy. I am not taking a nap. Eyes, quit closing. You hear me?
(She was asleep within the next 5 minutes on the way home.)

Mommy: Chloe, quit eating so fast.
Chloe: Mommy, God made me this way.
Mommy: God does not want you to be sick, though.
Chloe: God wants me to eat fast so that I grow fast. That is what He wants.

Chloe went to the doctor today for her 5 year well visit. When the doctor walked in the room, this was their conversation:

Chloe: Can I have a shot, please? My brother got a shot this morning, and I really want one!

(Kyle had his 3 year well visit this morning, and he got a shot.)

Doctor: Well, let me see if you need a shot. No, you don't need a shot today. Will a sticker do?

Chloe: I guess that'll be fine.

Happy 5th Birthday, Chloe! We love you so much!
