First Swim

As parents we want to give the best to our kids, not only in material things.. but in health and socially. And holding her back in her swimming lessons.. and others.. was the hardest we had to make.. but we know that we want what is best for her. Chloe is so excited about her swim.. she was trying out her swimming cap with Keegan her babysitter. We did luck in on Keegan.. because she does a lot of things with Chloe.. but after 4.5 yrs.. in a small town .. there really isn’t much they can do.. especially if the weather is bad.

Chloe went for her first swim today.. and she loved it.. can’t wait till next week to go again – she said. I loved that she is so adorable..and yet knows that mama is upset with some peanut brains of this town. Yes.. ! that one.. i’m sure you all know who i’m talking about. But luckily, I have Chloe and supportive family and friends.. and all my blogging friends and fan.

Library Time

We don’t get to do a lot of things with Chloe.. but as the weather gets warmer.. and if it is the weekend.. PB and I try to do stuff with her.. like the library or going for walks.. or visiting friends.. and of course.. the playground. Yes, we don’t just push everything to Keegan to do.. we do stuff with Chloe too.. because she would rather do stuff with us.

So off to the library we went this weekend.. but we weren’t there for long since we had to go swimming later. Chloe loves to draw and color .. as soon as we got into the library .. she sat and colored. The next time.. i’ll bring my lappie with me.

Chloe telling me.. i have to be quiet… muahahahhaa!! who’s the mother eh..??

Swimming Time

We never let Chloe go swimming till this year because we felt that she was too young.. before now. She had a swimming costume before from her grammie.. but it is too small now.. so we had to get her a new one. She chose the pink one of course..!!! and cannot wait to try it out.. show off. She was so hyped up about going swimming the next day.. it was cute..! Did she have fun..??? check out the next post eh.

What a cutie pie right..??

Get Them Involved

Yes..!! i try to get Chloe involved in whatever I am doing. Rather than to have her watch tv.. while i was doing my dishes.. i asked her to help me mop the floor. You and I know.. she wouldn’t be doing a “clean” job.. but what does it matter.. if she was happy to help.. and i made her feel important.. that she helped mummy. I think by teaching her all these good values.. can only make her a better person.. and by doing these.. she will start young and learn that the house needs to be kept clean.. and that not only mummy and daddy must do housework, so does she.. and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. So while i do the dishes after dinner.. Chloe helped me clean the floor. Cute or not..??

Building Confidence

Building confidence in your child is very important and we never over indulge Chloe. She won’t eat the piece of chocolate if we said no.. but she would whine. And she wants to be Hannah Montana.. but we tell her .. she is just as good if not better than Hannah Montana. But we will still give her fake hair to put on .. to be Hannah Montana. We don’t believe in buying lots of materialistic stuff for her. .and then leave her to play on her own. That’s the reason why .. we hired Keegan to help with playing with Chloe. If i’m ever on the computer.. someone is there to play with her.. be it PB, Keegan, Gary or her Grammie. Chloe is never left on her own – being a mother is darn easy… but being a good mother.. now that’s the tough one. And my only wish is to be a good mother.. and that Chloe not only grow up healthy.. but confident.. and a good and useful person to the society. Isn’t that what all good mothers want..?

Short Visit

Godma Lynn came for a short visit .. about a week. She left this morning.. and headed out .. to embark in her new job.. actually a lateral transfer..?? Anyhow.. Chloe saw her Godma Lynn twice.. and twice was short visits. Chloe asked me .. how come Godma.. didn’t play with me.. in the park.. they just sat on the bench… *roll eyes*. I think the kid is kinda disappointed. We tried to explain to her.. that Godma has a lot of ppl to visit too.. not only her. But Chloe replied.. “BUT SHE IS MY GODMA!!!!” *slap forehead*

Prom

Keegan preparing for her Grade 12 – final prom. This prom is her graduating prom.. therefore .. it is very important to any gal her age. She just had her hair done here.. and came over to show us. If you wanna see the $500 dress she paid for .. for her prom.. check back later.

I donch know how much she paid for her hair.. but it looked really nice. But of course, we already know that Kate is quite a pretty gal.. and has no problem… making herself pretty. Can’t wait till Chloe and her graduating prom.. but she ain’t getting a $500 dress.. muahahhahaha!!!

Yearly Dentist Visit

The much dreaded yearly dental visit is here again. A year ago, about this time.. Chloe had her caps done in the hospital. They had to put her to sleep .. because she was so scared even to be sitting on the dentist chair. The same thing this year.. but it didn’t take as long this time.. since we did visit the dentist like a few months ago.. because a cap had fallen out.

She had some cleaning done.. and the dentist checked to see if that fallen cap was causing any trouble.. because they didn’t do anything about it the last time. But as you can see .. the dentist office quite the stylo-malo.. everything quite high tech .. for a small town like here. I bet he has a cell towers at home.. muahahhaha!!! In Canada .. dental care is taken care of by the government but only once a year, anything more.. you kinda have to pay on your own.. or get some kind of supplementary health care program.. like Blue Cross. So yes.. !! i bet Dr Leblanc is making lotsssss of money.. muahahahahha!!!

I’m Hannah Montanna Chloe

These days Chloe wants to be Hannah Montanna, in fact, she wants us to call her Hannah Montanna Chloe. She wants to be Hannah so much.. that she asked for a blonde wig… and since we won’t get her one.. she pestered her babysitter – Keegan.. to buy highlight gel for her. *slap forehead*. And so she did.. the gel cost Keegan $13 .. and something cents.. *slap forehead* .. of course we paid Kate back lah.. ! poor kid.. earn so little.. still gotta spend money on the brat.

Does she look like Hannah Montana..??
