Aunties

You have so many aunties. You’re so lucky. 🍀 

They’re all so nice to you too. I hope you’re able to develop your own relationships in the future so that you’ll have more than the ones we created for you. Sorry we didn’t go to church today and so tomorrow is gonna be busier than I hoped for…

Vinh and Daddy

Not sure if it was worth it or not for golfing, but I get the honor of watching you until mommy gets home later tonight. We’re gonna have a good time and get things done okay?

I did go to the carwash without you sorry, but we went to Costco together and saw Sophie and her family. You got good samples (but not the healthiest) and now you’re taking a bath. We’ll eat after. 🥳 

Potty 🚽

I should have gotten 3 big chocolates so far today 😂. Too bad it’s not helping my weight loss. I really do need to exercise too. I think my diet is pretty good. At least one of us is eating…

If you decide to eat these again, they cook well in the new pots and pans we got. I enjoyed it. Just try it 😂.

Wild Wednesdays

It’s unfortunate that someone changed my Wednesday meeting from 10A to 9A. It’s been a few months, but we still have some tougher days. I wish it could be easier, but your eating and sleeping doesn’t help.

And now you have to go potty after I put you into the bath tub. Mommy says you’re growing up too fast. If you could just learn to sleep earlier, eat faster and take care of your own potty, I’d be okay with you growing up slower. I mean you’re missing out on the My Gym Friday night parties…

Angry Boba Face

ABF. What the heck? Don’t say that. That’s what you would say. 

Glad it’s not a serious angry face, but you may want to tone it down a little bit. You’ll get more bees with honey. Is it because I didn’t pick you up? Sorry mommy wanted to. She’ll pick you up tomorrow too, so don’t be sad. Actually, to be honest, I’ll probably pick you up tomorrow. Eat and sleep good okay? Thanks.

Emma

Your favorite. Be nice. She didn’t push you…

I hope you can grow up to be as good or better than her. Surpass your role models. You did pretty good yesterday except for your eating maybe, but you were distracted. I get it. Hope you enjoyed your long weekend. It’s back to school tomorrow buddy. 

Sunday (Before Holiday)

So it’s like a Saturday 😂. That’s what you would say. Sorry we didn’t go to the gym today and your Toms were too small. Hopefully they still fit Ayla,

I don’t like bribing you, but I’m happy it works. Just hope it will always work and that I’m not doing damage to you. But it’s not all the time that we need to bribe you. Buttons… 🤦‍♂️ 

Zo Zo 🐶

You got to see Lisa, Sebastian and Zoey again today. It’s been more than a year I think. It’s just a reminder that we’re blessed to know great people and that we need to make a better effort to be good people.

I realized that after I married your mommy. But sometimes I forget. We are very blessed with amazing people who care deeply about us. We need to be like them. Sorry your nap was messed up.

TGIF

Although is every day Friday for you? Or do you see days at daycare like mommy and daddy see as work?

Although your failure to eat doesn’t care what day it is. Took you forever to fall asleep too. The plus side is that it’s a holiday weekend too. Lots of things do and people to see. It’s essential that you get some rest and eat good to make sure you’re up for it okay? 🙏 

Zoom zoom 🚲

Did you have fun today? I think you were probably more excited about your helmet than anything else…

I think it was a good experience and it wasn’t too hot. Too bad you didn’t want to ride too long. I’m glad I let you pick out your helmet. Mommy says I spoil you, but it’s more about getting you involved in the process when things impact you. I’ll make decisions that have to be made, but I think it’s good for you to make some decisions too…

Two In A Row?

You had a good dinner today. I made you extra noo noo and spam and you finished it all. You had a yogurt this morning so I couldn’t feed you that, but you did finish one and a half mandarins plus most of a wafer bar. Wow.

I should have gone and bought lottery tickets. Keep up the good work buddy. Try to be the same with mommy too okay? Thank you Boba.

Yin and Yang ☯️

Heard you had a really bad morning with mommy today. I’ve had that experience with you as well, although I think I probably handle it a little better than mommy. She’s not used to things not going her way…

But then you had the fastest dinner I’ve seen you have. Then you slept late as usual. So it’s a roller coaster for sure. I’ll repeat what I said before. If I had to choose one, it’d be for you to eat well. If I get 2, I need you to sleep well too…

Better

You ate better this morning. Almost as well as I had planned. Not sure if maybe mommy not being here really made a difference or not. I’m glad I didn’t have to throw your toy or threaten you with a carwash today…

Also thanks for making drop off easy. You haven’t been clingy lately so that’s good. Hope you’re having a good time at daycare. Also please stop crying wolf, or we won’t know when to believe you and you can get us in trouble…

Sorry

I failed you again and you got hurt. While it was a crazy accident, I wonder if I could have reduced or prevented it. Anyhow, I’ll do better.

I also need you to do better eating. Sleeping too if you can, but definitely eating better would be ideal. I wonder if maybe we eat too fast, but I still think you eat too slow. I food is chewed so well, you can swallow sooner…

Yes

I had fun at golf today. Thanks for asking. I shot a 77 which is a pretty good score and I definitely could have shot even lower (better).

I definitely shouldn’t have bogeyed that first hole. Anyhow, I hope we are able to golf and enjoy golfing together when we get older. 🙏 Hope you have fun today at the graduation party too.

More Love

I think I burned the fingerprints off my hands…

Also I my eyes still kinda hurts and my nose is still burning. But I did this for you. I’m sorry we had a rough morning. I glad you’re happy, but I’m still sad. Maybe I shouldn’t tell you I’m sad though. I don’t know if you’re capable of understanding or improving your behavior so I don’t want to unnecessarily burden you with that. I hope you eat better soon…

Love

So fresh and so clean. Sorry I didn’t get to change the lightbulb yet, but I did everything else. I know you won’t appreciate it, but that’s okay, I do it for you anyways.

Tomorrow I will go buy bleach and milk for you and also change the lightbulb and hopefully clean the bathtub for you. 🙏 

Hump Day 🐪

I better go change the towels around the house. Sorry I didn’t have a chance to clean the tub today, but I should tomorrow. 🙏 

Good job telling me you don’t want more tea. When you’re big you can have your own. Thanks for having some of your own restraint. You didn’t even finish the chips. 🤯 You’ve got quite an imagination. I’m hoping it’ll be something you can do go with. With great power comes great responsibility okay? 🙏 

Was It You?

If so, thank you, but we’re gonna need more if you want to spend all your time with your parents at the zoo and gym and on the airplane…

This barely covers the dinner the dinner we bought for Aunty Linda 😂. Either way, I appreciate your effort. You try harder next time. When you do something, you need to give it your all.

Mondays

Weekend before was my golf trip. This weekend was Mother’s Day. I think I’m finally getting back on track just in time for Memorial Day and June…

Maybe we can blame that on why you were so late this morning for school. I guess I also could have let you get up earlier and not tried to sleep with you for longer. At least you at as usual and didn’t have any issues at school that we know about. Maybe someday you’ll like chili crisp…

Mother’s Day’s #4

You weren’t very nice to mommy on Mother’s Day this year. You better make it up to her by at least eating and sleeping better…

Mommy helps make your happiness possibly. Your existence makes her happy, but she’d be a lot happier if you were nicer. Ate better and slept faster. Think about it okay? It’d be the best gift ever.

Pool Party Porrines

It’s unfortunate that you’re so scared of the water. You didn’t get to take full advantage of what’s available at the party today. 

Even your cousin isn’t afraid of the water. You got swim classes coming very soon. It’ll be easier on everyone if you get used to the water sooner than later. 🙏 

Carwash 🚗

Someone definitely hates the carwash. Even holding you is not enough to calm you down. Not sure how to address this when it comes to something more serious. You didn’t even want candy…

I think it just boils down to you trusting us more when we say it’s okay. Mommy and daddy will always protect you if we can. 🙏 

Work Night

Hi Boba. Daddy is currently working a night meeting. He has to talk to people who want to buy a house. This is the price daddy has to pay to be available and flexible all other times in your life.

Anyhow, it doesn’t happen often and the benefits outweigh the disadvantages for sure. Be good to mommy while I’m away and I’ll get back as soon as I can.

Mirror, Mirror 🪞

Who is the cutest of them all? This guy 👇

We got lucky that you took pictures right when you got there. You did great and deserved the candy for taking picture. I’m not a fan of bribing for you, but for now it works until we find a better way. Hopefully it’ll always work for emergencies 🙏.

Party At My Gym

Wow, there were like the maximum number of friends today at My Gym. You did a pretty good job paying attention and participating. See, I know you can do it, but you don’t. 

Your Uncle Wynn says that if you want it to happen, you’ll make it happen. I guess you don’t always want to participate or listen. It makes Daddy sad when you don’t. Like when you don’t eat. I know you don’t want daddy to be sad so please keep working to be 💯 more often 🙏.

Happy Cinco de Mayo

Did you have fun? Looks like you did. But mommy and daddy would have more fun if you listened and ate more…

Aunty Suzy, do you remember her? I think she would be sad if you didn’t like Mexican food…Anyhow, thanks for eating something, but you really could have eaten more. We don’t want you to be small and unhealthy…

Relationships

You’re going to develop many of your own relationships as you grow. However, until then, many of your relationships will be ones formed for you. Not all will be great, but all will have lessons you can learn.

I know Sophie may be a little mean to you, but she’s your cousin and her aunties and uncles love you. I’m sure if you try, you’ll find a way to have a bearable relationship with her. Also, let your aunties and uncles hold you. Aunty Kim and Uncle Pink are so nice to you…

Daddy’s Home 🏠

Tomorrow 😂. Did you miss me? I don’t think so. I think you were too distracted by the “laptop”. Anyhow, I’ll be back. I need you to get on track as soon as I’m home. You haven’t been great to your mom in my absence.

Daddy won’t get to sleep tonight, so I’ll need you to cooperate tomorrow. I’ll try my best. See you soon Boba Chop Vinh. This will be the last hole of this trip…

Family

Hi little Boba Chop Vinh. Update, I did not golf well today. I’m currently questioning if I need reevaluate my desire or strategy for this game. Anyhow, a series of events today has reminded me of how important family is.

I heard you didn’t eat well today too. We all need to work together to be the best family we can be. Mommy and I can only do so much. You need to participate too. Just like at my gym…
