On The Beach

It has been two days in a row now and my little monster Chloe decided she will make her own decision on clothes. This morning, she needed to go to school with Hailey and when I came out, she had a dress on with a trousers underneath. Bare in mind that that was not the latest fashion. I went to ask why she dressed like that, and Ika (my helper) told me that she will not wear anything but only those. Of course I will not let her go out like that. I went into her room and picked out a dress and said to her, “look! there is a cat on the dress!” Then, Chloe said “meow” and pointed at it and decided that she had some sort of connection with the cat and put it on. So, I think my nightmare started, I remember that Hailey used to pick her own clothes and it always lead to diaster. She would pick something that just did not match. May be, I should try the montessori way: only provide two choices.

Hailey and Chloe were so different. Chloe was an angle in eating and sleeping but Hailey was other way around. However, I think that most of the time Hailey was a lovely girl that never failed to show us that she loved her sister Chloe.

I started to get a bit anxious about taking the two monster on the plane on Thursday. But I have been in much worse situation and I should be ok.

Hailey had her attep class today and she came out like a soaking wet vegetable. I really enjoy seeing her being messy and dirty.

I had a breakfast with some parents today and they told me that one of their firiend’s daughter turned into nightmare age (13 or 14) and really hated the mom. I cannot help but think, what if lovely Hailey turn out like that. Please do not tell me that it will not happen. I so so so know that it is going to happen to me. I am not a model child myself either. So, what am I going to do at that time? May be I will cry! Or may be I will think, haha, it is my turn now! I just could not imagine that Hailey or Chloe will be like that one day. May be I should send her to boarding school at that age, so they will appreciate me more. Not a bad idea.

It is still difficult not to compare them, felt sorry for no:2 monster (nickname for Chloe) as we compare her to Hailey all time. We also learn how to not make the same mistake twice. May be that is the reason why she went to bed without fuss. Although for the eating side, she is definately born with a talent. People always said that may be Hailey can be in the entertaining industry. I would say that I can certainly see Chloe in the food industry. Her passion of food is unbelievable, when she was only 5 months old, she would already made the “lovely appreciating noise” for her favorite puree food. She will bounce for the food that she like and the first word that she can say perfectly was “bao bao” means bread in Chinese or “pain” in French.

Talking about Chloe today, she was a bit ill with a stuffy nose and we did not do much today, which made her very grumpy for the whole day.

Hailey made me so proud today. She had her swimming assessment today and she pass all of them and get the excellent comment. The teacher said that she had the skill of the free stroke ( we do have really believe that if we throw her to the open water now, she will save herself)  but she still need some practice. But after a very frustrating week with her, it is nice to hear something good about her at the end. She is also going to have her first ballet exam in June and she was elected by the teacher for the leader of the group.  Hailey had a very small built and she was very flexible which made me thinks that she will be good in things like ballet or gymnastic.  Chloe, on the other hand, still looks very chubby and one thing is certain:  she does not have Hailey’s small frame.  She was already taller than Hailey at the same age and of course weight more.  Although I kept telling myself that Hailey was only 5 pounds 7 ounces baby and Chloe was only “slightly” heavier, 5 pounds 11 ounces.  Thus, Chloe should not be very big when she grow up?  I really hope so!!!  God bless her appetite.

This is the first day of my blog, so by encouraging me to continue to write it and update it, please leave a comment of what you want to know and what will interests you, I would try to promise to improve my blog writing skill.  Moreover,  I would be more than happy to dicuss any issues about raising a child, or children, in my case.   Since we are all learning to be a good parent, (not perfect parent since they are not perfect children either!) from our children, and once you are a parent, you will find yourself kept changing in order to survive.  I always think about Hailey and Chloe as my bosses, since I am unemployed at the moment, how to make them happy became my first piority and how to make them happy and at the same time make me happy was even more important.  I would really welcome any suggestions.
