Jolie skipping

Since she was about a year old, Jolie has been wanting to skip. No thanks to her favourite cartoon series, Pocoyo. Here's the culprit. -_-

But how do you explain to a small child that she's too little to skip? So the best we could do was to place the skipping rope on the floor while she jumps over it. :) Lately, seeing that her hand eye coordination was getting better, I tried to skip together with her, but still, no success. Too early?

One evening, when I got out the shower, Cobby and Jolie were all excited as they exclaimed that Jolie could skip! Somehow, Cobby succeeded in skipping together with Jolie, he even claimed that they managed to skip about 3 or 4 times consecutively! I was jealous! So they showed me.

Honestly I was so happy for Jolie. How her face glowed with pride and happiness as she accomplished something she's been wanting to do for so long. Yes, she's far from skipping by herself, but it's an accomplishment no less. Everyday she's growing more and more! My baby!
