Look who's 4!!

Birthday outfit from Grandma.

Chloe turned 4 on Tuesday, but not until her party. At least, that is what she was telling people all day. She also had her 4 year check-up today and is in the 96% for weight and 63% for height. The doctor was a little concerned that she has had a cough for 2 months, and the thinking is that she may have a mild case of asthma. They sent us home with a prescription for albuterol and directions for a breathing treatment twice a day. If it works, she will go to once a day and possibly an oral medication to help her instead of the breathing treatments. Other than that, she is doing very well.

Her preschool teacher discourages treats on their birthdays, so we made a cute butterfly snack with pretzels, grapes, a little tissue paper, some google eyes, sparkly vinyl and pipe cleaners.

Chloe really wanted a Barbie cake, but I do not have a bowl that would work, so we made a polka dot cake with a suprise inside instead.

This cake is why I love Ameri-Color food coloring. There is about 1/2 to 3/4 of a teaspoon of color in each layer. The colors were pretty bright. I don't have a picture of the whole cake, but there is a video of us singing Happy Birthday to her that you can see what the cake looked like.

I have 2 videos of Chloe opening presents (due to a dead battery), but one will not upload, so you get to see Chloe's last present that made her speechless. Enjoy!

 Chloe received the outfit above, a movie, My Little Pony figures, a CD player with 3 CD's, her very own big girl wallet, a shopping cart with a play check-out station, and a bike.

 We have enjoyed having Chloe in our family. She is a tomboy, but loves all things pink, purple, princess, Hello Kitty, and My Little Pony related. There are times we want to pull our hair out and there are times that she is the sweetest little girl. She knows what she wants and will go for it. Even if that means climbing on the counter or jumping off her bed or the couch. She is a climber and loves to do anything Drake is doing. She lets Konnor play with most of her stuff and will even read to him sometimes.

Chloe is learning so much in preschool and loves to go. For all the aggravating things she does, she is ours and we love her!
