Happy Birthday E

Happy Thursday Vinh. Welp, I still can’t insert pictures from my phone. I guess I’ll insert the picture later. I’m caught up enough on work right now, but I can’t stop thinking I could do more. I heard this could be an addiction to stress? I don’t think so, but who knows. 

I hope you grow up to be a good kid. I hope know one takes advantage of you. I hope that if anyone tries, you stand up for yourself. I also hope you don’t take advantage of others. Life is hard to balance, but I pray you find a good one. I can’t wait for Uncle Peter to get back anymore so I guess I’ll take off early today. I wish I could get ahead so I can feel better when we’re on “vacation” next weekend…

Pretty Good

Imagine this is an ambulance. That's what you got at Dollar Tree today. Because you did a good enough job at swimming today. I even called Dollar Tree to make sure they're going to be open for you once we were done.

You even did good in the bath today and I think you ate some blueberries. I wanted to get you strawberries, but we have to finish the fruits we have at home already. Sorry daddy is currently having game night with his friends and can't talk to you, but I am blogging. I'm very proud of you. I hope you can keep this motivation. We are probably going to Kovars tomorrow. Mommy is taking you to school tomorrow too. Please don't make her late. I'll see you in a bit.

Very Good

But not great. Which is totally okay. Just means you can do better and should do better. That's how I would grade your effort today at Kovars. Here's what I designed for your tie dye shirt. We just need to find a shirt to put it on?

Tomorrow you have your 3rd swimming lesson of this session. Sadly, or maybe not, there's only (4) sessions total. You didn't do good the first 2 sessions. I think/hope it's because of the new teacher and your short time away. I hope your enthusiasm and improvement from Kovars will transfer over to swimming tomorrow. I'll try the pep talk and bribe too.

Be Prepared

I didn't take care of my teeth for most of my life. I blame it on being poor growing up and also not being aware when I was in college. I didn't start taking it seriously until I started working. By that time, a lot of damage was done. I spent (5) years filling cavities and fixing the health of my teeth. Then I got braces. For the last few years things were good. But the past finally caught up and I had to have a tooth removed.

This is a good example of why it's better to be prepared and do what you're supposed to do when you're young so that life is better when you're old. It goes the same with eating healthier and exercising and having healthy habits in your youth. We try our best, but at some point we'll need your help too. Remember, it's for you...

Super Sunday - "Beach" Adventure

We made it to the Sac State Aquatic Center. Too bad we had to leave and make our way across the river to the Folsom Lake park and pay $10 for parking. I don't think our State park pass would cover parking...At least you spent an hour there and got in the water. Don't worry, we'll be going to a real beach soon. Wonder how much beach toys will cost there. Don't think we'll be packing toys...

You got some treats today. You went to My Gym. You did okay at church. Except when you cried outside. Good thing it didn't embarrass us. Although, I hope no one thinks we're bad parents. You were just overreacting about not wanting to go to My Gym. You got gummies today. You got avocado drink. You even had some mango drink. Sorry there's no more crunchy squid. It's probably not good to each too much deep fried stuff. Anyhow, it's back to So tomorrow. You wanted to go today lol. We saw Clarissa. Sorry you miss her. But you got other girls at So :)

Belated Birthday

Someone woke up cranky. Then got super happy when they found out that they we going out with their Godparents. This was after your JJ classes. Good job showing up and being a gracious losser. You got a purple belt now. 

Bac Minh and Uncle Art were very kind and gracious to take you out tonight. I hope they really enjoy your time like they say they do. You're a pretty cool kid when you're not whining and overreacting. Sorry we're going to have to wake you up early to go to church tomorrow. Please sleep fast tonight. (spoiler, you slept slow and mommy had to sleep by herself so she could get some rest). If all goes well, we'll be going to the beach tomorrow...

Details...

They say the devil is into them. I say, they're important because you need to know as much information as possible, to make the best decisions. When I go golfing and I find myself waiting every hole for the group in front of me, it would be easy to blame them. But I've learned that I need to look at the group in front of them to see if they're slow too. That's the way it is with life. It's easy to remember the bad things someone does and forget all the good things, but you can't do that because you're only seeing part of the picture.

If the grass told a story, it would say that the lion is the hero because it stopped the antelope who was eating the grass. But the antelope wouldn't think that. So before you make decisions or opinions of things, make sure you have enough information. Sometimes too much information is bad, but mostly more is better than less. P.S. we're going to Costco and asian store after So. I need drugs for my teeth (going to have one extracted on Monday). This is why it's important that you take care of your teeth. Learn from others' mistakes instead of making your own.
