Chase is 2 1/2 today!!!1

It’s been awhile, but today Chase is officially 2 ½. Where have the past 2 ½ years gone? She is growing up so fast. Too fast. We took our first car trip last weekend without a pullup and she made it all the way with no accidents. I was so proud of her. She is already planning her 3rd birthday. She wants to go to Monk Joe’s with some friends and give Monk Joe a High Five. She says she will be free (three) on her next birthday. Oh yesterday she did the cutest thing. It was her cousin’s birthday and she called her and sang Happy Birthday to her so sweetly. Every time we tried to tell her to say bye bye to Sky Sky, she would say scop (stop) it. She is already fighting me about clothes too. Doesn’t like a certain pair of jeans that she has and she argued with me about the shoes she was wearing to school the other morning. She wanted to wear these cute little sparkly ballet flats that we got for church, but she knows she has to wear tennis shoes to school. She is starting all this way too early!!!! By the way, she loves school. At first I thought I would never drop her off without crying. No crying anymore. She just hugs me and runs off to play with her friends. I am so blessed that we found such a good school and she enjoys it so much. She is learning so much also. She can count to 10 and say her ABC’s. She sings little songs like Twinkle, Twinkle and Wheels on the Bus. She is also at the age where ordinarily we would start thinking about having another baby, but in our situation, who knows when or if that will ever happen. My sister in law is pregnant with her 2nd little boy and I said something about Clayton having a little brother and she said “I want a baby brother” Kind of makes you think. I always said that if I had one child, I would be fine with that, and really I am. Still the thought of another little one does seem nice some days. And I hate for Chase to grow up alone. But it is not up to me, and I have to trust that God will either send me another child or take away my desire to have another child. Just like with Chase, it is in His almighty hands!!!
