Amy's 3rd Child

My dear, sweet sis, Amy, was visiting for a few days last week. She came down on Tuesday night so that we could go to the airport together to pick up Jordan on Wednesday. Well, I talked her into staying until Friday when we had Chloee's party.

I would say she was Chloee's 2nd mom but I think that I would have to take that spot and put Amy in the #1 place. She fed her, held her, played with her, dressed her, hauled her around in the grocery story, you name it, Amy did it. Chloee wouldn't let Amy out of her sight. She was constantly fighting off Kai and Kennet for "her Amy". Of course Chloee thinks she needs to come before Kai and Kennet, Amy's ACTUAL children. Amy is so great to just dive in and help with anything. I never would have been able to pull most of the week off without her. One morning I woke up and thought Chloee had slept in, bless her little heart. Nope, not the case. Evidently, Amy heard her crying at 6:30 am and got her out of her bed took her downstairs and they painted toenails and fingernails together while they watched Star Wars. She did all of this so that I could sleep in because she knew I was exhausted. There are COUNTLESS things I could name off that she has done for me, the Chlo and Josh but this post would then take up the rest of the storage for this blog.

As you can see from the above picture. Amy has Kai, Kennet and Chloee sleeping on her. In fact, all 4 of them are asleep together on the couch. As if Amy doesn't have enough on her plate having Micheal be gone and being a single mother, she loves my child as her own. I can't believe that she can love her so much, especially after watching Chloee hit her kids for days on end. Yesterday, Chloee actually bit Kennet's ear. Yes, you read right, we have a little Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfied on our hands.

I just wanted to write a post about her and what a sweetie she is. Also, after the birthday party on Friday night, she came home and bathed Chloee while Josh's dad and fam had come back to the house to see where we live. She bathed her, put her in her pajamas and then left my house to go home at about 11:15 pm or so. What??? Seriously, could there be anyone more sweet? Anyway, thank you Amy for EVERYTHING you DID and DO for me. Josh and I appreciate you more than you will ever know!!!

You are too sweet! Thanks for the great ego boost! I seriously can't tell you how much fun I had over those four days with you, the Chlo, and the boys. The doctor visits, the party, the Bubble Bobble. It all was great!! I loved being Chloee's mani/pedicure specialist. I truly love her like she was my own, feisty 'tude and all. I love that little Mong!!
