Work, Work

I hope you don't ever feel like I work too much. There's so much I have to do in order to make sure I have time for you and mommy. I work at night and early in the morning so that I have time during the day when you're awake to be with you. Same goes for golf and swimming. I try to schedule it in order to have time with you.

I hope you don't think that I don't value our time together. Please know, that I make sacrifices in the background so that we can have time together in the foreground. That being said. I'm kinda of tired now. I finished 3 loads of laundry this evening. I'm not sure if I'll wake up before you today, but I'll try. That way I can be ready for you when you wake up. Enjoy that you don't have to go to So today. Be nice to mommy.

Sunday (But It Feels Like Saturday)

I still need to get the Tesla washed. You're so smart and cute. I'm sorry you and mommy had some rough moments today and that you got some boo boos. We need to work on both. It seems like mommy has decided that we are staying local tomorrow. Sorry if you wanted to get out :(

You ate good today at KBBQ. Sorry we didn't get you any carbs or veggies, but I'm sure you'll get plenty of that for dinner. Sorry your nap was late too, but we really wanted to make sure you got some sleep and at least you didn't have to go to church *wink, wink*. Anyhow, tomorrow is a bonus day with mommy and daddy. You're probably happy you didn't get to see Ms. Sana for babysitting. Maybe you scared her too much at My Gym today?

Good Job!!!

You showed that meanie who's who's. You did good today except you didn't smile. I guess you're all business. Thanks. I know you didn't want to do it, but you made a lot of people happy and relieved today. It was a rough going to start the evening with Ms. Sana, but it seems like you warmed us after all. I'm sorry she made you sleep, but that's because we asked her to.

I think we're done with weddings for a while. We can all relax now. This might be your only chance to be a ring bearer, but you probably don't care. Anyhow, we're going go have a fun family weekend. You even get to spend Monday with mommy and me. #teamboba

Practice Makes Perfect

I sure hope you bring your A game tomorrow. Don't worry about that mean Aunty. Just remember that you're doing this for Aunty Nhi Hoa. Tomorrow you're going to do amazing. I just know it. I'm not sure what's going on with you and mommy, but I hope you guys can find a way to have more positive moments than negative ones. 

I know you both love each other, but the way you guys fight isn't fun to witness. I think you need to work on your communication skills and also need to be better about not doing things you know you're not supposed to do (i.e. spitting or saying "poop" out of context). You're a very smart cookie. I know you can do better...

Dramatic

You? Mommy? Both? Kids really say the darnedest things. You whined today when we went to get a haircut. I don't like that. We need to have a talk about this. You can't react that way. You've gotten a haircut before. It was easy peasy. Just like your shower/bath today, you didn't cry at all when I shampooed your hair. So we know how good you can be and do things...

You're going to be the ring bearer Saturday. We have practice tomorrow. You need to be on your best behavior. We don't want you ruining their ceremony. It might be cute to you or some people, but I'd rather not have that happen. We're going to need to pep talk you before and practice.

 

Father Fail

I'm sorry that I'm not a great cook like all the other daddies you see around. I'm not picky about what I cook and I guess I never really took the time or interest to learn how to cook. It's something that I regret, like not knowing how to swim. Fortunately, at this age, your tastebuds don't care too much. Even when we take you to fancy restaurants, you're not that interested in the food...

Aunty Rain told me that her son, Dom, is interested in learning to cook a steak. The picture looks better than it tastes probably. Maybe we can learn to cook together. I can't swim and we can't really learn to swim together. Anyhow, don't think I don't feel bad about this failure. I think, if time permits, I will learn to be better, but right now, the only time I have is work, chores, and Vinh/Mommy...

"Parents try our best, we pray our kids will forgive us."

Doctor Vinh

You're not a doctor, yet...but we went to the doctor today. Sometimes I think mommy worries too much, but I guess it's better to error not the side of safety. There's nothing the doctor can check and he didn't see any worrying signs. We just need you to stay hydrated and eat more vegetables. Good job eating the green beans today and pooping when you got home. Sorry it was pebbles...

I hope it's not true that Eli doesn't like or play with you. But it's also possible that he's only nice to me. It was funny that you said he doesn't love you and Jasmine loves you. Sometimes you are very funny. Kids really do say the darnedest things...
