I Heart Chloe.

 

For real.  She’s a handful most of the time, I admit.  She takes a lot of energy.  And if I’m being honest, I don’t know that I could her AND another kid.  But I wouldn’t change a single thing about her.

 

Sometimes it’s easy to lose sight of the little things as you get caught up in the day to day grind of living.  But then a random sight will bring it all back.

 

My nights are long.  I lay down with Chloe until she falls asleep each night.  Sometimes, like tonight, it takes extra long.  Then I’m stressed out because I’m tired, but laundry needs done, kitchens need cleaned, etc, and there are never enough hours in the day.  And I’m definitely a stressor.

 

So here I am, frustrated, going from room to room to try and at least make them look presentable.  And I walk into the spare bedroom and come face to face with a stack of empty boxes, haphazardly stacked up taller than I am!  They were banker boxes that Chloe had gotten into and filled with toys.  Right before bed time, I had told her that while I folded some laundry, she needed to empty them out and put them back where she found them.

 

And I just burst out laughing.  I just had this random image of Chlo stacking these boxes up above her head because that’s how she found them.  I’m really quite impressed, as she had to have gotten a step ladder or something to get it as tall as she did…

 

So here I am just laughing, thinking, I heart that girl.  Smile.
