Chloë
Posted on Monday, November 12, 2012 | 0 Comments
So (not so) little (anymore) Miss Chloë turned ten years old yesterday! Ten! Where the heck did the last nine years go?!
 
 
Chloë, you have grown into such an amazing person. I am amazed at your bravery. Nothing, and I mean nothing can stop you. When you have decided you want to climb the sheer rock wall of some ruin in Greece, you do not stop until you are at the top. Do not ever let fear get in your way. Your bravery will take you a long way in your life, so cherish it.
Sometimes you can be a little sassy, but I love that about you.
Never stop being the friendly person you are. I remember when you were telling mom your first day at R.E. Baker that there was a girl in your class who you really liked, but no one else seemed to want to be friends with. What you said next inspired me: "Just because she's fat doesn't mean people can't be her friend!" I thought to myself: "Way to go Chloë! You are awesome!"
I love that you love to read. It warms my heart when you tell me about the latest book you are reading and promptly tell me that "It is the BEST book ever. You NEED to read it!" I should be better about reading the books you want me to.
You're me own little Mini-me... just the brave version. Keep that up. :)
 

 
 
Just to illustrate my point, look at how cute this is! I think you were 6 or so in these. It blows my mind how fast you have grown up...

 




 
This is from our trip to London this past May:
 



Love you Chloë! I think mom knew what she was doing when she named you after Madeline's best friend in the Ludwig Bemelman books. :)
