9-11-09 It has been way to long since we have updated. Chloe is still tugging away at the potty training thing. Someday it will come. We have been enjoying the beautiful weather and no air conditioning running at home. Josh is gone to his Haydays trip this weekend so Chloe and I are spending some girlie time with each other. She has been enjoying games and her baby dolls. Daddy came home from Princeton a couple weekends ago with a PowerWheels Harley Davidson, Chloe thought that was the best! She desperately wants to go to school but needs to get the potty thing down. Hopefully in January she will be able to go. Hope you enjoy the pics, I am having so much fun with my new toy! Oh, I almost forgot, Chloe decided one night that she wanted to sleep in mommy and daddy’s bed. I told her that she couldn’t, but that we could move her crib into a big girl bed and she could sleep in that. She was all set for it and helped us move it around. She has been sleeping in it so well, so we went and bought her some BIG girl bedding for it to. She just loves her big girl bed!!! Chloe is also excited for Xmas to come and everytime she sees a toy she wants, she tells me that she is going to ask Santa for it. Xmas has been so much fun, but I think this year will be a GREAT time with Chloe Bear. Hope everyone is well!

8-27-09 Life is crazy busy and we are still working on this potty thing. Chloe is still going but we still pretty much have to ask and take her on our own. A few times she has asked though. Eventually we will get there. I have started trying to work with Chloe more with letters, numbers, colors and shapes. So far she loves it. We had to give up our spot at church for preschool since she isn't potty trained. Next year should be the year to go. So we will be checking into some small classes that we can take her to through ECFE this Fall, Winter and or Spring.

8-14-09 We have been busy with the potty training thing. We have worked on it off and on, but nothing serious like now. Chloe had to be potty trained for preschool at church, but we have given our spot to someone else as they has a waiting list ready. If the time comes soon, we will look into some ECFE/Comm Ed stuff for her to do this school year. Saturday we were at Target to buy diapers and she saw the Dora pullups and wanted them really bad. So her and I had a discussion in Target that we were going to start using the potty. She has been doing well, we have to sit her on there and she hasn't asked us yet, hopefully soon! Brooke has been a big help and Chloe would rather go there anyway.

8-5-09 RIP Sparky 5. John informed us last night that Sparky 5 died on Sunday. Thank God he didn't croak while we were there.

I am pretty much through my pics and have posted just a selection. If you are on my Facebook, I will prob post more there as I am running out of space on here and have to do some picture deleting.

8-3-09 The zoo trip went awesome!!! We packed up with Gma Connie and Beba and had a picnic right outside the zoo in the picnic grounds. Then in we went to see all the animals and flowers, and play a few games! Chloe was so well behaved for the whole car ride, picnic and zoo. She was so excited to see all the animals and had the best time ever!!! I got LOTS of pics and they are currently downloading (only 255). I can't wait to go back, maybe next summer again!

I am gearing up to take some pics of some families with my camera. Lisa from work has lined up some of her cousins and babysitter to get some photos. I am looking forward to these sessions for say to see what I can do for them. Stay tuned...

Tonight I went to a Pampered Chef party so Josh stayed home with Chloe. When I got home it was almost 10 and she was getting out of the tub. Josh went outside for a second and came back in to find her digging in her poppy diaper. Nice and I am so glad that I wasn't home. We are still trying to get her to go on the big girl chair, so we can enroll in dance class and start preschool. Not sure if this will happen this year or not, but I will be bummed if she can't take dance yet! There is always next year!
