emotions
Chloe has always been a monkey, climbing whatever she can find — support pole in the basement, swingset in the playground, the car. Not surprisingly, going to gymnastics class is of her most favorite things to do. She’s ready to head to class far earlier than she needs to be and forces me out
camping out
for our upcoming weekend at LEAF, we splurged on a new tent. Last fall when I took the girls to LEAF without Rob, the three of us barely fit in our old wedding present tent. And the rain, oh the rain, came splashing in on us. So I had Rob buy a new, bigger tent
all i want for christmas
is my two front teeth. yep, she lost another. unfortunately, the tooth fairy went broke on the last one, so some piggy banks will have to get broken for this one. and I just wonder what Chloe will quiz the tooth fairy about tonight???
dear tooth fairy
at the concert yesterday, chloe lost a tooth. As usual, she put it under her pillow. In the past, she has been known to leave a note, asking the tooth fairy something about herself. Chloe has learned that her tooth fairy’s name is Penelope. Well, last night the tooth fairy arrived and found not just
chloe’s kayaking trip
on Sunday, Rob took Chloe down to Pine Lake for a trial run in the kayak. Apparently, she had a fantastic time out on our tiny little lake. She got to go out to Harry’s Island and walk around it; I don’t think many in Pine Lake have ever been out there! She’s looking forward
Tootie’s in the House
One of the things that the girls love to do when Rob’s home for the weekend is to get him to take them skating at the nearby rink. Apparently, neither one has really been able to skate unassisted, until now. On Sunday, Rob took the girls and one of their friends. Chloe refused to let
Circus Career On Hold
Wii Fit came into our live a couple of weeks ago, and the kids can’t get enough of it. Camille loves the step aerobics and hula hooping games. Chloe loves ski jumping. But both of them love the tightrope walking. Yesterday, Chloe decided to take this virtual skill and test it out in reality. She
Chloe’s Big Adventure
On Monday, Camille and I dropped Chloe and Barbara off at the airport. Chloe fit all her clothes, her pencils and DS in her new backpack on wheels. She is quite the seasoned traveler, and it shows. She and Barbara headed off through security and passed time in the Admirals Club (must be nice). She
Chloe’s Tooth
Chloe has had a loose tooth for over a month. It’s all she can talk about, being her first one and all. It’s been very very wiggly the past couple of days, but she wouldn’t let us pull it out. Finally, last night, it fell out. A long while back, she decided that she really
Up In the Trees
Chloe and Rob headed over to the Beginners Tree Climb yesterday and learned all about climbing trees. Chloe can’t stop talking about what a great time she had!
Best Birthday Gift?
Yeah, she’s a funny girl. Those, in fact, are Wasabi peas. Truly, she loved all her gifts, safari clothes, the building toy Camille picked out for her, but the best was saved for last. Her own Nintendo DS. Yes, they snuck the Wii into the house and now we are officially a modern family. Here’s
Happy Birthday Chloe!
Chloe is six today! Camille is planning to bake a cake for her sister later today. Chloe is still undecided about what she wants for her special dinner…I suspect it is food from one of her two favorite restaurants — Panahar or Harmony.
More Video from This Weekend
I had Camille take some video of Uncle Rock, and, unfortunately, it did not come out. But Sienna, Persephone’s mom and author of Hilltown Families (a fantastic, informative website), caught it…
Chloe’s Not Shy
Here she is on stage with Ernie and Neal.
Two Mommies
Let me first state that we are very open to same-sex couples with children. No problem at all. I came home today from a stressful day of yard sales; stressful only because I was in charge (as neighborhood association president) and did not cancel the event. When the rain poured down, so did my tears.
Gaming Girl
Chloe is our games nut. She loves to play games. Computer games, board games, card games, you name it. At home show loves playing Sorry!, Zeus on the Loose, Kitty Korner and more. Today at the cabin, she pulled out Triominos, and we had a great game outside on the deck.
Chloe Loves Laurie!
Yesterday we went to see The Laurie Berkner Band perform at Symphony Hall. Chloe has loved Laurie since we first got Buzz Buzz a couple of years ago. A friend of ours got us backstage passes to go meet Laurie after the show, which was really, really cool! More photos of the show are here.
Soup Girl
Chloe loves a good bowl of soup!
