Ever since Cole started talking, one of his first words was “Chloe;” however, it came out “Wah-wah.” I don’t know why it came out that way, but Chloe has been “Wah-wah” since Cole started talking. Matt, Chloe, all the grandparents, and even Carrie and I have worked and worked and worked and worked (you get the point) on getting Cole to say “Chloe” correctly. Now, it’s “Wah-wee.” Closer, I guess???
We were driving home from dinner last night, and we were talking about how cold and windy it was. Somehow Chloe started talking about summer and warmer weather. She said, “Do you know what we get to do when it’s warm outside?” Matt answered, “Go to the pool!” Then Chloe replied, “No. We get to wear skirts!” Matt whipped his head over and looked at me and said, “Oh, Lord.”
Cole loves water towers. Every time we drive by the Factory, he points to the water tower and yells, “Ook (look), Mama! Ook! Wah-tuh tow-uh!” Earlier this week we were driving somewhere (can’t remember where), and there were two water towers side by side. Cole pointed and yelled, “Ook, Mama, ook! Two wah-tuh tow-uhs!” He was holding up two fingers. This was the first time I’ve noticed him being aware of numbers/counting.
This week at school Chloe has been learning about the letter “S” and about Samson. Matt and I were asking Chloe questions about Samson and she was telling us that he was very strong. We asked her where Samson got his strength, and she very sweetly and innocently looked at us with those big, blue eyes and answered, “God.” Ah… good stuff.
