Fish and Chips Story — The Story of Us

I don’t know what happened, I didn’t see it coming.  One minute I looked over at Alora and she was a toddler and now she is turning into a little girl.  I see it in her eyes, my baby is growing up into a fine young woman.  Why did no one warn me about this?

Last night Heather finally got Alora to sing on camera. Here are the videos:

Jesus loves the little children, BIBLE thats the book for me, Jesus loves me in case you couldn’t understand.

I am just warning you this video may not be good for those of you with weak stomachs. 🙂

I can’t believe it happened so soon.  I knew she would do it someday but not at two years old.  My little girl beat me at her first Video Game.  We rented Super Smash Brothers and I tried to play while she tried to help and I couldn’t even get past the first level.  So, I just handed her the controls and she did it she beat the first guy and moved onto the next level.

In that one you had to keep moving up a ladder so she couldn’t do it but I was so proud…

Heather was trying to nap on Sunday and it was becoming painfully obvious that Alora wasn’t going to sleep so I decided to put down the Wii and take my daughter outside.  It was a little chilly but I decided to take out some of the gardening tools out and get some work done.  I was a little shocked to realize that the weeds are already beginning to grow up through my mulch out back.  I showed Alora how to stomp on the ‘bad’ plants and we turned the compost pile over.  Me with my shovel and Alora with her little hand spade, she was throwing compost up in the air and helping daddy.

There was even a moment where I was leaning on my shovel and she tried to lean on her little spade; my heart melted.  We dug a ‘bed’ for the ‘baby’ plants, we had some bulbs that should be fine there even though it is cold.  I guess I realized that although I will remember my Wii game I will remember my time with my daughter even more.

Ok, so Heather doesn’t believe me but the other night Alora walked from me to her activity center, all of two steps all by herself. I called Heather to tell her but she doesn’t believe me. Of course unless she sees it she never believes me.
