Chloe at (almost) 3 years

Just typing 3 years seems a little strange, but Chloe is more 3 than 2 these days.  She just keeps growing and growing.

Chloe says her favorite color is purple & would wear her a purple shirt everyday if she had 7.  She has 2, which means more often than not, I have to tell her that the purple shirts are in the laundry.  Chloe likes to have a say in her clothing, only requires a little bit of help to get dressed, and can put on her shoes by herself.

She can write her name and has a good start on her letter sounds.  She can count to 20 but usually skips 16.  Chloe enjoys writing and coloring, but would draw on her magnadoodle the whole way to Grandma and Grandpa's house given the chance. She loves to play with other kids, but is pretty shy around older children.  She usually just plays around them...She takes care of her baby, Schnookums, all day long.  She likes to play "I'm the Mom, you be the nursery helper" and will occasionally sit still long enough to do an entire puzzle.

Chloe is a pretty obedient child, but needs to be reminded to share with April, speak kindly to April, and to say "please" about a million times a day ;)  Pretty typical of a 3 year old I think!!   She continues to eat just about everything that is on her plate ~ the only thing she hasn't really liked are raw carrots (she'll eat cooked ones!) and sauerkraut, but who can blame her?

We took this picture right before the camping hike.....I'm going to compare it to her "first day of school" picture in 2 years!!!  Goodness, this mother's heart can handle it!

We love you Chloe Grace! I can't wait until it's finally August 12th, so when you ask, I can say "Yes!! It's your birthday!!" :) Can't wait to see what year 3 brings :)

Well three years are almost over, and haven't they been swell!

But today I can remember that 29 years have past by since You arrived and they have been great!
Happy Birthday Alison,

Alison, she is such an adorable little girl and reminds me a lot of Ilana. They'd probably be great friends. :)

These pictures just make me laugh ~ especially the last two. I have a feeling that Aunt Laura, in particular, will think those last two are funny also. :)

A dear friend

I'm leading the study tomorrow at my Bible Study. We're reading a book called Crazy Love by Francis Chan and the chapter I'm in 'charge of' of real life examples of people who are living completely for Christ. I've come up with an example from my own life to talk about and I thought I'd let my blog readers in on what I'm going to share tomorrow. Enjoy! I met Mrs. Hohman on a hot July afternoon after mistakenly knocking on her neighbor’s door. I stood on her front porch with my mom, nervously waiting to meet the woman I planned on living with for my first year at Grove City . I felt like I was towering over her short frame as she showed me the 3 rd floor and barked the rules of “no swearing, no smoking, no boys”. I handed over my rent check and moved to her house in late August. September came and a fellow freshman had a mental breakdown and her bed was now available to me…… So, after 3 weeks of living with Mrs. Hohman I moved out....
