Usually when I took Chloe out, people were really surprised how curly her hair was. They would said that how lovely her hair was and was it natural, that sort of question. BUT I wanted to tell you was: How messy it was in the morning. She looked like the North Korea President with ridiculous curly hair. To prove my statement, this was how she looked in the morning. 
Chloe came to me and said she was hot (not really, but she came and had a sweaty head). I was drinking a soda, so I decided to put the empty can in her clothes. She really liked it and would not let me take it out from her. Which was very cute. 
I read an article said that a baby this age should wear one less layer than us to prevent overheat, but our Chinese culture will always overdress the baby and this could not be very healthy. For Chloe, I could not overdressed her anyway, she just will not let us do that to her. She will be screaming and refused to put clothes on. She has already picked her clothes and refused some of them.
They did it on last Tue 12th May and they were so proud of it! When I looked at picture like this, I could not help but think that what will happen in 10 years time: Will they still be best friends? Will we still live in HK? Will the mommies still in touch? Lets hope that their friendship will continue and so as the mommies.
Should wrote this earlier, but my neck was still painful (possibly from swimming with Chloe). Anyway, last Thur, Chloe still liked her swimming class. When they were put on the platform and have to jump down, I made sure Chloe had to have some time with the head in the water. She was Ok with that and she did not asked for one more jump all the time.
The picture was taken after they finished the class and they were so hungry. Chloe is the fastest to finish her “baobao.”
I did not really know why she cried but I only know that she was watching some programme from Cbeebbies, and the character went to sleep, then suddenly she cried and we realised that she did not like the character to go to sleep and I told her it was ok, he is tired and he needed to go to bed, but still tears in her eyes.
Made me remember that when Hailey was about this age, she used to cry when she watch the Elmo DVD and Elmo fell and got hit by the bricks. We used to play the DVD in the car and we had no idea why she cried. So, one day, we took the DVD out and watched it ourselves and we could not help but laugh… Now, Chloe was the same.
Hailey had made me a Mother’s day gift today in the School. She drew lots of things on the recycle bag and have also made a very special card. On the card, she wrote: My Mum is… kind . special. lovely (spell lovele), elegant (not sure if I was on this one)!
I can understand that why people do not want to have children. Even I am constantly asking myself does it really worth all the troubles. But one day, when I am old, this was the memories that I had with me. I might made more money, had a better career, and a better life if I did not have any children, but I sometimes I cannot really weight them on the scale. Life is about choice and once you make a choice, you live with it and make the most out of it.
Chloe went to her swimming class today and this was the second time of the swimming class. She went there for the first time last Thursday, she liked it because she did not have to put her head down. However, we were already told today, they (Chloe and Ryan) will have to put their heads in the water today. I was a bit worried and nervous today. I kept thinking that, I have already paid for ten classes, so what if she really dislike it like last time (last year when she was 10 months old), shall I forced her to do it or just forfeited the money?
So… here we go, she had no problem at all, she chocked a bit at the beginning but she was fine for the whole time. At the end of the class, we had to placed the babies on a big floating board and then they would need to jump into the water so that we would catch them. Chloe showed no problem at all, she was so happy and kept saying, “one more jump!”
I thought it was going to be nightmare taking her to the swimming class but it came out very differently, I was so happy that she really enjoyed swimming and I was thinking to take her everyday in the summer.
