Dear Chloe,
You turned 6 years old today! a few minutes from now 6 yrs ago, you were born in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia – Canada. 6 years ago, mama never thought we had the ability to raise you to this age, you were so tiny – my princess. You brought tears to my eyes everytime i watched you sleep – because you are nothing less than a miracle, just like getting Blue Cross NC in the States.
We are continuously learning new things from you and also learning how to be better parents/person so that we can set good examples for you. You are a wonderful, sweet and thoughtful little gal but you can sometimes be a P.I.T.A – but we love you always.
This year, you started your school year in a new school, you are doing so well and if not for the lil’ boy who keeps bugging you – i think you love your new school too. Your home room teacher had to be on sabbatical because her father was really ill, so your relieve teacher who is new and a man don’t really know stuff about girls eh. But never mind we are constantly reminding him that girls are different from boys.
This year, we also had to let your babysitter of 4.5 yrs go because you are already old enough not to need one, plus mama needs to teach you more school stuff after you come home from school and during the weekends. Since mama don’t get to spend a lot of time with you during the weekdays because you are going to school now, it’s better mama look after you – and cook proper food for you.
You’ve changed so much, taller, more independent and can pretty much do a lot of things on your own. But you can get quite demanding at times, so we have to work on that more. We love you but we don’t want you to grow up to be a brat. You are still very thoughtful and never ask for presents or toys when we go shopping and most times you do behave yourself – it is only at the store and when there are customers that you get naughty at times.
Mama is just very happy to surround you with good play dates and friends and the many activities we’ve planned for you since this year. Hopefully, we can go back to swimming soon after the H1N1 thing blows over. You are still doing your dancing and next year you start Karate classes – which we think is essential because of how this town is.
You are our love and our life and all we want is for you to be happy and healthy. Mama
