Who's Taller?

Chloe and Jacob seeing who's taller.

"Captain Grandma"

Abby sent me these stories while I'm at work and she is spending the day with Chloe, Jacob, and her Mom.

She writes:
"We are in the car playing "pretend ages" and Chloe didn't want to give me one. She didn't want to pretend with me when she didn't know my real age. Just in case she pretended my real age. I told her I was 54. She pretended I was 20. Then she asked if I was *really* older than 20. And I said that I was. She asked me, "Abby, are you really much older than 20?" I said that I was older. And then she said, "I always thought you were younger." haha.

Now we are to get into a space ship and go to Jupiter.
The kids, me and my mom are all wearing intergalactic space bracelets to protect us on our journey to Jupiter (the store). They are calling my mom "captain grandma" "

Summertime

Summertime.

Sick-y naptime

Chloe got puky sick the other night. Poor thing was waking up with cramps and the whole bit. She was so brave, she never got scared and she used the little bucket I gave her. She let me hold her hair back and talked to me when she had questions about what was going on. She ended up slepung for a few hours after 4am or so. She woke up at 6 and came in my room. She was tired and sweet but still wanted to get up. We were talking about being sick and how her body would tell her if she was going to throw up again. She told me about how the night before, before she could go to sleep after throwing up she went under the covers and told her feet to be cat ears so then they would be alert enough to wake her up if she was going to be sick again. I love her creativity and how she can share her thoughts with me. I love that weve had the relationship so she can trust me and not be afraid. Layer that morning she slept on the couch for a few hours! That never happens, it was so sweet to watch her sleeping.

Clean as a Bean!

Story from daddy: Chloe got out of the bath and told me she was done. I asked her if she was clean. She said "clean as a bean!"

Shoe tying champ

Chloe is tying my shoe. It's been about two weeks since she learned to tie. One day she did it for the first time ever. From then on she just had it. Within a week she was double knotting. She really likes double knotting. It makes so much sence to her to prevent them from coming undone.

New Candy

I just introduced Chloe to Charleston Chews. She said "Mmm... Is this... Like....a... Smore!!??"
