Now we’re trying to decide what sort of extra-curricular activities to sign Chloe up for. Like most little girls, she loves dancing and wants to take ballet lessons. She also loves to play karate, thanks to Spongebob, so we were thinking of putting her in a martial arts class. That would have [...]

Chloe was a princess this year for Halloween for a party she went to and for the school dress-up thing too. At night it was too cold to just wear the princess dress though so she went out as a bunny again. Her costume from last year still barely fit her. As [...]

Here’s a little gem I just had to share. A few months ago while Jan was still in the hospital, I took Chloe to visit her and she asked the nurses for some paper to draw on. She drew all sorts of things as usual, houses, people, flowers and stuff. And this, [...]

Not even 2 weeks into the school year and Chloe got to go on her first class trip already. The Wallace Brothers Apple farm was the destination, about 20 minutes out of town, so they all got to ride on the school bus. Both primary classes went together with several chaperons and had [...]

After doing a bit of house cleaning over the weekend we have a few of Chloe’s old things to get rid of. A portable high chair that can be strapped to a regular chair ($15), a full size high chair ($25) and a stroller ($40). The stroller is in great condition since she [...]

Note to self: mow the damn lawn more often! After 3 or 4 weeks the grass in our front lawn was getting to be very long, I figure we could have made a bale of hay out of it. Normally it only takes 10 or 15 minutes to mow, this time took a [...]

We finally broke down and got Chloe a fish. The babysitter had an extra bowl already so she took her out to pick up a fish, some food and water purifier. Apparently Bettas were hard to find that day so the one they brought home, while still a Betta, is apparently a fighting [...]

After meeting with the pre-op nurse on Monday, we’ve been trying to reinforce what she told Chloe. Going over it many times what’s going to happen tomorrow. Some parts she seems to be ok with, but I think once the time comes she’s going to freak out or at the least get really [...]

Tomorrow morning at 6:45 am we have to be at the hospital. Chloe has an appointment to get some cavities filled in her teeth and because of her age they will be putting her to sleep for it. It is not going to be a fun day. She usually won’t go anywhere [...]

For a while now it seems we can’t keep a working flashlight in the store or at home. Chloe loves to play with them, even during the day, so batteries don’t tend to last very long. Next time I buy a new one it’s going to either be a rechargeable flashlight or one [...]
