My sweet, sweet Kloey… You are 4 today. Where in the heck did the time go?? I remember the very first words that came out of my mouth (mumbled by tears and medication) when I met you were, “I want another one!” Scotty calmly (through his own tears of ‘oh shit she’s already crazy!’) told me that we should go ahead and take care of and love you for a little bit before we made that huge decision. From the moment I met you, I loved you hard. You have taught me A LOT in your four, brief years in our family! You have taught me so much, in fact, that I have dedicated quite a few blogs to such lessons! You give the best hugs, warmest kisses, most generous compliments, and so many funny stories to to pass along. You have your own style (tu-tus, wings, nothing else), AH-MAZING hair (it’s your power), personality for days (lots of demands, needs, must do’s NOW, and requests that cannot be denied), and a true passion for whatever YOU want to do (albeit setting up paint minutes before we need to leave the house (because you ain’t leaving the house until you paint!), refusing to clean up a mess, (that YOU made by yourself!) finishing your plate at dinner (because you know Mommy made it and want to make her happy!), ride your bike (because you want to do it like Kayden does), etc. We have learned to come to you with a calm energy (even if Mommy is anything but calm) because we know that’s how to speak to your heart. You are truly one of the most amazing humans I know, Kloey! Stay strong willed. Stay passionate. Back down to no one. Rock your power. And, please, keep being you!! People remember you when they meet you in the store. I can’t go anywhere without being told how darn cute you are. Keep. Being. You. ALWAYS!!!!!!!!!!
