I hope it wasn’t too cold for you last night in your room.
We probably should have a portable heater already, but we don’t. I did order some that will arrive next Thursday. I will check out stores to see if they have any good ones available now. I also called an HVAC person to come look at the home air system. Thanks for your patience. This is a good reminder that it’s better to prevent problems rather than scramble to fix them. An ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure.
Your parents are not really fancy people. But we do have a lot of fancy friends and family. The reason we do is because we try to treat everyone we come across with respect and kindness. Inevitably, there may be some people who will take advantage, but hopefully you can weed those people out.
Not that it’s the purpose, but our treatment of others has resulted in people being kind and respectful to us. One example are these fancy shoes we would never think to buy for you. Thank your God cousin. Anyhow, stay humble, be kind and respectful to others. Mommy and daddy love you lots.
Today we were listening to a podcast about love and loss. The mother on the episode writes letters to her son. Reminds me of this blog. Although I hoped I’d have more profound messages for you…
Hopefully you find some value in this blog when you finally get to read them. Please stop putting things where they don’t go. I.e. cheese in the xe xe.
Boy did you wake up early today. I hope you got enough sleep.
We got you new shoes, cool jacket. You’re ready for school early. This could be the beginning of a good thing. 🙏
Wow. Today I made you some wagyu fried rice. I hope you like it, but also that it doesn’t ruin your ability to eat fried rice without wagyu.
You can thank your uncle Peter Tran for this. He gave it to us and now you get to enjoy it. Your mom enjoyed it a lot 😂. I hope you’re back to your good behavior now. Yesterday was no bueno. Lot ya lots.
That’s not a great drink name either. You weren’t the worst behaved kid in church today, but that’s not really something to cheer about.
Are you having withdrawals from your grandparents? You better get used to it. Or you need to take advantage when they FaceTime you. Anyhow, I’m gonna let this one slide, but very soon you’ll be disciplined…
Hi buddy. I hope you’re thankful for everything you have. Of all days, today is the day to be thankful.
Sorry about my gut. Thanks for cheesing finally. Looks like you might be fitting 3T soon. These shirts are a little big, but don’t tell your mom. She thinks she’s not fat. I’m thankful you’re generally a good and healthy kid.
There seems to be general consensus of a few things about you. You’re cute. You’re smart. You’re mean. Can we work on the mean part?
I know you can’t be perfect, but I would prefer a different vice besides mean. You were not nice when I tried to stop you from spilling water. You also weren’t nice when I tried to take a picture with you and uncle Marcus. Troi oi!
Look what we (I) finally put together for you:
I forgot some washers, but I think you’ll be fine. Uncle Peter says that your cousins loved it. So hopefully you will have a good time too. I feel bad I didn’t put it together sooner for your grandparents to take you around. Maybe they can today. Another reminder (just sayin’, not screamin’) that you live a good life. Lots of love all around.
I hope grandma and grandpa don’t think daddy is lazy. He just wants them to maximize their time with you before they go.
You are very lucky that they take great care of you and enjoy your company. Hopefully, you’ll be okay when they go. I’m sorry, but we won’t be able to give you the attention they did, but it doesn’t mean we love you any less. .
My might be right about you being more comfortable at home, but I (and everyone around you) appreciates your presence outside the home. Thank you for coming to visit Annalex and The Nielsens (I never remember if I spelled it correctly).
As you’ll probably learn soon, we do most of these things for your mom. Hopefully if she’s happy everyone’s happy. 🙏
That you may have peed through your diaper. I wonder if it’s because we tried to use the last of the size 3 diapers or if you just peed a lot last night. It didn’t seem to bother you though and you slept until 810A by yourself.
Check out these new kicks I got you. You can thank your Aunty Jenny and Barbara. Today is Aunty Jenny’s birthday. We exchanged the clothes she got you for shoes. We’ve been very blessed that we haven’t had to spend much on things besides food and diapers. I assure you the size 4 shoe is bigger, bad angle.
I couldn’t get you to pose for a picture of your tongue today, but I finally saw it. Sorry about that. Looks terrible, but you’re doing great. So here’s your school photo.
I hope you had a good day today at daycare. I forgot to ask if we let the daycare know in case you start bleeding, but it’s almost 3PM and we haven’t heard anything yet. We’ll see each other soon. You’re the real MVP!!
Sorry that we let you down. You can’t see it, but this laundry is full of bloodied clothes and sheets. As always, you seemed to take it like a real champ. Stopped crying pretty fast.
I did order some pads to see if we can help protect you more. Praying that we don’t do anything that will negatively impact your future potential. Please know that we are really trying our best. Lots of love little buddy!
I really do hope you realize sooner than later how very blessed and loved you are. Even strangers are nice to you. I hope it continues so it makes your life easier. But I also hope you don’t take advantage and stay humble.
It’s easy to stay humble when you have no choice. But it’s more impressive to stay humble when you’re so fortunate and lucky. Be the later. Leave no chance for people to say bad things about you. Unless they’re just haters 😂
Guess who got a raving review today? You did, but it could just be that they’re raving about all kids. Although I’ll assume they’re not.
I’ll work on getting you to wake up cooler and help you fall asleep faster. Just need your help too. Also, I’m not sure what you want more of when I’m putting you to bed at night 🤷♂️ 👉✋
Daddy is home and he picked you up today. Not sure why you always try to close the car door, but it’s kinda cute. Is it because you want your crackers first or because you don’t want to go home?
I’m sure your grandparents don’t give you crackers, but they also have the luxury of being a team to entertain you. I’m glad you’re doing so well with them. I just hope you learn to do well with us too when they go back home.
Growing up poor, Daddy has always had a difficult relationship with wasting anything. Be it food, paper, money, time, etc. However, if I can give you a piece of advice on that topic, it’s this: Wasting Isn’t Always A Bad Thing.
Something you might never see Daddy do is not finish a drink, especially a boba drink. However, this one wasn’t that good and Daddy was full. So rather than over consume or force myself to drink something not good, I decided to throw it away. This situation doesn’t really impact anyone else, so it’s okay. It would have been much worse to try to finish it. Although I did save it overnight for the morning and I decided it still wasn’t worth it. Be okay removing things from your life that don’t benefit you (or society).
I’m gonna come home today to say hi, but then I have to turn around and saw goodbye. I think you’ll be okay with mommy and grandma and grandpa around. Thanks for doing so well with them while we were gone.
It’s like you’re better with them than us. Makes me wonder what we’re doing wrong or if it’s just you? Anyhow, I hope you keep your good improvements after your grandparents leave. It’ll make everyone’s lives easier I promise.
Please be a good boy for your grandparents. We are officially away from you tonight. I hope you sleep well.
Your mom is having a very good time without you. I’m sorry. I’m doing okay. But what’s most important is that you do well. I will pray for you and your grandparents. Hopefully this time away will do wonders for everyone 🙏.
Tomorrow will be your first night I can recall without your mom or me. Please be nice to your grandparents because they really care about you and are trying.
You don’t get to see each other often so you really should take the chance to really enjoy their company. Mommy will be back soon and dad will be back later. So don’t miss us too much. 🙏
You’ve got Lucas beat. I hope you keep it that way. Your mom may not think so, but I know so and I’m sure most would agree. That being said,...
