We welcomed this beautiful girl into our lives 4 years ago today.
She fills my heart with happiness. She loves for me to read her books and then nap right next to her daily. Today, we went swimming and she just started swimming next to me and taking breaths and swimming some more. She's fearless but still so sensitive and wants confirmation that she's doing the right thing or doing a good job.
She is so inquisitive. We talked about not saying "why?" when someone asks her to do something. She said, "okay mom." Later that day she said, "but if you ask me to build a bird house then could I say 'why' because I don't know what you mean?" She is so smart and constantly leaves us looking at each other in amazement. She is the best big sister. She loves Friday night movie night. She loves attention. She loves family night (and really gets on us if we don't have an activity or treat:) And...and...and...and...! We love this girl forever. More birthday pics to come.
Who wouldn't love waking up to a room full of balloons. Credit for balloon blowing to Brad. I had to get that 4 shirt done and wrap some gifts. We started this at 9:45 pm!
Lately, well for a while now, Chloe is obsessed with dance. She takes a free zumba class at our gym and did gymnastics but she has this concept of "ballet" really in her head. So I am teaching her (Thanks Barbie for teaching me the ballet positions and terms) some sweet moves and she teaches me. This day was so funny I had to video it. Somehow she conveyed to me that she wanted to learn a dance and then she kept practicing the dance. She even told me to show it to her a couple of times and then she would do it by herself. See for yourself. I love the curtsey and kisses at the end.

AHHHH that video melts my heart...she is such a cute little dancer...so, so cute. I hope she had such a great birthday yesterday. I bet she LOVED the room full of balloons. Crazy she is already 4. Love you Chloe Blue =)
Bekah watched that video with me and was so impressed that she knew ballet. She said she didn't remember Chloe, but she remembers you. I guess I'll have to start teaching her now.
Ack! Matt doesn't know ballet--that was me.
Happy Birthday Chloe! She is a beautiful 4 year old.
She looks so tall all of a sudden. She really is a cutie.
