I Die With No Regrets
Last night at dinner time.. i had Chloe alone with me .. because Keegan needed to send her dad back home first before she can get her car. I prepared Chloe’s dinner.. and gave her a little pop for a treat for being good. While i was makiong my own dinner.. she called out to say that she dropped her pop onto the floor.
I told her it’s alright.. and that i was gonna help her clean up in a minute… since i was cooking. When i got into the computer room, the little cup was on the carpet with the straw too. I had a towel with me.. and guess what she said to me..??
“You can’t bend down mom..!!! i’ll help you to clean .. !! come give me the towel..!! ” And she took the towel from me.. and tried cleaning the floor. It was a very touching and amusing moment for me. What is a spot or two on the carpet .. when you have a 4.5 yrs old.. who knows and cares for you .. the way she did. We did bring her up well.. and I die with no regrets. She is only 4.5 yrs old.. and she is compassionate and sensible. I am truly proud of her. My greatest achievement in my life .. as i’ve always told PB is not having traveled the world twice… but giving birth to my daughter. I am truly blessed and thank God everyday for her. What is your greatest achievements..??
awww…that’s so sweet of Chloe. She is a very caring and sensible. Good job Jan and PB

awww.. sweet sweet child!
I know what you mean. I know how you felt then. I too have moments like that with my girls, and having a boy & 2 girls, I can say for certain that there is a distinct difference (between gender) in this area. Girls are just so much more matured, and sensitive, and understanding you know.

your girl is definitely sensible. as a mommy too, i think sometimes they pull at our heartstrings with the little details that adults tend to ignore completely. innocent but very wise. send you some wonderful wishes from singapore.

thank you for your kind words, Mamabok. yes, i am now blogging for me, not for Google. Just needed some deserved break with my girls. After reading your post too, i get a little guilty about spending quality time with Rae and Lea, my girls.
