Chloe

 Chloe, Chloe, Chloe, well there is only one way to describe such a unique person and that is with a story.

When Chloe was four she went to a meeting with my dad and as they walked into a room with 20 adults sitting around the room on chairs, Chloe looked around the room and said "Don't talk to me I'm shy." At the same meeting one of the ladies asked Chloe, "What do you want to be when you grow up?". Dad said Chloe looked at the lady like she had 3 heads and said "An adult" in a confused voice, what a great goal, so many people grow up and seem to miss becoming an adult.

The opportunity to raise Chloe has been a blast, I love the way she naturally thinks outside the square, no-one ever had to tell her to. Her love of life is infectious.

Chloe's ability to think outside the square helped her in many areas, when my kids were younger we knew a few bigger families and when we had meals together an adult or older child would wash the dishes and the rest of the children were handed tea towels and lined up to dry the dishes. In the lines you would see Chloe getting closer to the front then she would go from second to last, something no-one else thought of. Reality of course is she would have probably spent less energy just drying dishes, not my Chloe.
