His chubby cheeks are going away! Oh no, he’s growing up. Chloe is so tall. I can’t stand it. LOL That sharp cheese line was very funny.

He has a heart of gold. When they have the concept of making others feel good about themselves at that young of an age, you KNOW. I have one daughter who does this and the other one doesn’t. It’s a gift.
