Our daughter – Pumpkin – is almost two and half years old.  And, she is already making us proud.

Just last week, me and the wife had the pleasure of attending our first PTA meeting with her playschool teacher.  “Ma’am” (that’s what all her students call her) had only praises for our little one…

“She’s such a lovely child.  She’s so attentive and obedient.  She speaks so well.  Sometimes, I think she should be in the next level course, but let her learn in a relaxed manner…” 

And, these aren’t my words, but the teacher’s!  Here’s what her very first report card had to say.
