Love

Our job is to love others without stopping to inquire whether or not they are worthy.
That is not our business and, in fact, it is nobody's business.
What we are asked to do is to love, and this love itself will render both ourselves and our neighbors worthy if anything can.

Thomas Merton (1915 - 1968)

Chloe's Five Year Check Up

We started out the day with pigtails. But they came out before naptime at school.
She wasn't in trouble, but was being very coy about letting Mommy take her picture in the waiting room at the pediatrician's office.

Chloe thought she was pretty cute with her head in my lap.

She weighs 39 pounds.

Has normal blood pressure.

A whole 43 inches tall!

Doesn't she look cute in her paper towel princess dress?
She thought so, even though she didn't like the teddy bears.


Dr. Bowman was listening to Chloe's heart.

And listening to her take deep breaths, which amused Chloe.

Chloe's counting and self-awareness was put to the test when Dr. Bowman counted a sixth toe on one foot.

All done with the check up. Dr. Bowman gave Chloe a hug and a kiss before walking out.

This was the last smile before we told her she needed to get shots.

The poor child was in hysterics. She fought hard, kicking & screaming until just before the shots were given. It didn't take her too long to calm down and then in the car, she said "It didn't hurt that bad."
