A Chloe Update

"I'm not Chloe! I Chloe Powski!" This is one of my favorite things Chloe is saying these days. When ever we call her Chloe she says with a grumpy little voice "I not Chloe! I Chloe Powski!"

Chloe is 3 years 5 months old. She weighs a little over 35lbs and is wearing a size 4T. She's quite a bit taller than Taylor but not quite as big as Coby. She's a GREAT eater. She's our only child who will eat just about anything you put in front of her at any time. The only food she doesn't like is string cheese. She would eat constantly if we let her so we are working on only eating at meal and snack times.

Chloe's a very happy, energetic child. She's pretty agreeable most of the time. We rarely have to discipline her. Chloe is very enthusiastic. She runs everywhere. She runs from her room to the kitchen from the the kitchen to the living room etc. She's totally potty trained, even at night. She wears underwear at night and wakes up dry 99.5% of the time. She will even get out of bed in the middle of the night to use the potty. She's been doing this for almost a year now. And it's awesome not to have to change her diapers. I am dreaming of a day when all 4 are potty trained like this. :)

Chloe loves loves loves Tanner. She spends as much time as she can with him when he's awake. She's always saying things like "he's so cute mom, I love him so much, he's just the cutest baby mom." She is always asking me if I remember when he was in my tummy. Chloe is very emotional. If she's tired or hungry she cries easily. Now that she's a little older she's been expressing herself more. She is always telling me that she loves me or that she loves her brothers and sister. She's full of compliments. She's say things like "mom I really love your hair today." And it's usually when my hair is extra messy or I haven't had time to shower.

Chloe is doing great in school. She really likes going to school each day. One day she had to stay home sick and she cried for the longest time. She's extremely social and is always talking about her friends. When Jake goes to drop her off she just walks right in and says "bye dad, see you later." She makes friends easily and she's really gotten alot more confident this past year. She used to copy everything Taylor did but now she's starting take the lead and even form her own opinions. She still says "we" instead of "I." She says things like "We are hungry or we are tired." Taylor is very much her other half and they are rarely apart.

Chloe was a very vocal baby and now as a toddler she loves to talk. Taylor is a thinker and will only say something if she has something to say. Chloe just rambles and rambles, especially in the car. Last week I took her shopping and on the way to the store she said this: "Mom, triangles aren't squares right Mom? Mom we can't hit, right Mom? Mom, birds are in the sky, right mom? Mom, T.T. is my sister right mom? Mom we can't push, right Mom? Mom, Coby is a brother, right mom? Mom, it's not a school day, right mom? Mom, we don't eat houses right Mom?" And she went on and on and on.

We love our little Chloe. She's one a kind and we can't imagine life with out her!
