Big Girl

Chloe started preschool this week and it has led to a couple of her cutest moments. She spent a good part of Sunday explaining to me that I could no longer call her my baby. She is now "Chloe" or my "daughter". "I'm not a baby anymore daddy." This is going to be an adjustment for me.

She is going to school 4 days a week. Monday-Thursday. So far she's really liking school but is not thrilled about riding the bus. She told me last night that she's tired of seeing where all her friends live. (She's 1st on and last off) As she was falling asleep she was pleading with me, "Daddy, please ask your boss if you can leave work to pick me up at school. Tell him your daughter Chloe needs a ride home from school. Tell your boss that your daughter Chloe doesn't want to ride the bus home from school." She kept repeating the same lines over and over again until she finally fell asleep mid-sentence. Soooo cute- part of me wanted to tear up, part of me wanted to just laugh. So I did both. (And for the record...i did make it today to pick her up. The problem now: she'll want me to every day. Most days i just can't. But FOR TODAY- i did.)

I saw a pretty serious accident today. A truck rear ended a car that was turning off of the highway. So my plea- please drive safe! Put plenty of distance between you and the car ahead of you and never take your eye off the road. This truck was following too close and obviously not paying enough attention. So when the car slowed to turn. He hit it. At like 50 MPH. 2 people were hurt pretty bad. Anyways- be safe. A split second can make a huge difference. Sermon over.

Dylan is sick. Everyone else in the house is ok so far. Hopefully that keeps up. (NOT Dylan being sick...bad wording on my part)

Ps...I barely got there in time to get Chloe today. I walked in as they were walking to the bus. She was talking to her teacher, "daddy's boss must have said he couldn't come get me." She was so disappointed. Her teacher noticed me walking up and said, "Chloe, look who's here." Chloe was so excited. Her reaction made my 9 hours of working without a break well worth it.
