Today we drove my Uncle Eric's old house and also Uncle Tao and Uncle TJ's house. It reminds me that we have lots of other people we need to make time for. Probably Uncle Tao is next. I'll text him. They are the reason you have a lot of toys and learning tools (and why daddy has golf clubs). Anyhow, please eat and like quinoa. It's good for you. You won't have to eat broccoli :)

Quinoa Tuesday
I got the rare outing with your Uncle Eric today. It's always nice to hang out with good people. Lesson, you have to make time for that (what's important to you). I remember that when your mommy and I got married, a lot of people we never see often made time (during/after Covid) to come and celebrate with us. We wish we could have invited more people. Lots of people helped too and didn't ask for anything in return. I promised from that moment that I would make time for those people to show I appreciate them and that their love for us is not wasted.

Tiring Monday
It's getting really tiring and old that we have to keep repeating ourselves to you. I get really tired of hearing mom tell you how tired she is. Lesson, do things right the first time so you don't have to redo them again...
It was nice to have a day off, but I still had a lot of work to do. I spent a long day golfing and worked on my phone while waiting for my bosses and coworkers. Then I went to the Asian store and Costco. Didn't have time to drop off donations at Goodwill. It's really tiring to come back and have to address you disposition. Please try to do better...

Lazy Sundays
Those are the best. Although it wasn't as lazy as I thought it would be given that we went to church yesterday. I hope mommy is okay that she didn't get to go to church today. I know she wanted to pray for Aunty Mary. I'm sure Aunty Mary and Chua will okay that mommy prays at home. Thanks again for praying for Aunty Mary and our family yesterday. Too bad you didn't pray for us to win the lottery LOL.
We didn't get to eat fluffy pancakes, but at least we got to eat pho and you got ice cream and got to mine treasures today. Look at the nice nap you got to take and wake up on your own without crying. I'm glad that I have tomorrow off and that you don't have any activities tomorrow. It'll be a kinda lazy Monday. I probably need to get some rest and work done. Didn't sleep much yesterday or the day before. Lesson for today, make sure to keep your battery charged/cup full. If you not, you can't help or do anything for anyone else...

Consequences (and Responsibilities)
I had a chance to golf yesterday and today, but life doesn't stop just because I do. Today, I was watching football and taking a nap, but then I realized that there are still things I need to do. Adulting and being a parent means that we have to do the right thing, not the easy or fun thing. Hoping that sometimes fun and easy are the right things...
I hope we get to go to church today. That way tomorrow is more free. I'm lucky that I'm off Monday and I'll get to golf. Didn't really do anything fun this weekend yet (hanging out with you excluded). Still have to do laundry tonight and possibly tomorrow. Hopefully I'll get some work done too. Lesson for today, aside from doing what's right is to balance your life. If you're going to work hard, play hard too. All work and no play make you sad LOL.

Music?
We still haven't figured out what you want to do or what you should do or what you like to do? I think that we probably are doing and trying too much, but we really are trying to give you all the opportunities we didn't have and put you in a place we're you're the best version and have the best chance at a great life.
I was telling mommy that you might have ADHD or you could just be a talkative and scatterbrained kiddo. I really don't know what ADHD symptoms are so I told mom not to take what I said too seriously. Lesson for today, "Listen, Try Your Best, Be Good (and give Space). You did good. Thanks kiddo.

Home Bound
I finally get to go home. You missed me I heard. It’ll nice to be home, but your cousins are gonna miss me too. They were pretty sad this morning. See how lucky you are they your daddy is so loved and liked? You’ll be the envy of all your friends 😂.
I have to poop I think and I’m working alone at this booth. Lesson for today is to poop and pee at home or where you’re comfortable so you don’t get caught having to go in uncomfortable or inconvenient places. I was able to hold the poop until I got home. Sorry my flight was so delayed, but I fulfilled my promise and woke up with you. If you guys travel with me in the future, you can eat good food like this on the company :)

Wild Wednesdays
Your cousins are wild. It must be in the Nguyen DNA since you're pretty wild too. Today Ziggy kept wanting to fight me. Then we went to the skate park. It was a long tiring day. It's good thing they go to sleep early because I'm sooo sleepy. Surprised you haven't called me yet. I finished a little work and now I have some time to blog. It's nice to have time. I won't have any time once I get back to you :)
But I'm sure you'll be glad to have me back. It'll be nice to be back, but I will miss the extra time I have when kids go to bed early. Although they did also wake up early. It was nice that I didn't have to watch them and could get ready for work. it was a long day today and I didn't get to eat lunch. Anyhow, tomorrow repeat and I get to go home, albeit late. I'll wake up with you on Friday. Lesson for today, make sure to pay attention. It only takes a moment for bad things to happen. Fortunately, today it was only someone stepping in poop...
