Chloe; Our Child, Our Pride...

Chloe is now 15mths plus. Just a blink of an eye, she is a big girl now. Running, climbing, jumping, swimming, laughing, whining, crying, throwing temper... Wow! How did we survive that? Well... with pride and joy. Every minute and second, we are proud of our little girl. However, sometimes when she really really gets on my nerves, I asked myself how much could an one-way ticket to hawaii be...When she knows that she is in trouble, she would try to get away by showing us her bambi eyes and smile. *sigh* Can't really be angry with her for long. Well, just hope that she does not get that as a hint of her "climbing over our heads". Be happy, my child. As far as we could, Daddy and Mommy will walk the journey with you.
