Meltdowns

I heard that we should let you meltdown and then talk about your feelings, but sometimes it’s frustrating. Today everything seemed fine until we got inside daycare and you didn’t want to let me go…

Was it because I didn’t leave fast enough and other kids were crying? Merryhill says I shouldn’t linger, but I didn’t want to appear like a cold parent. But I really need you to stop telling me you can’t do stuff or do a lot. We know you can. Do I need or invite the skeleton everywhere?

Never Forget

That’s the slogan for 9/11 if you live in America. That being said, it’s good opportunity to remind you that it’s your Aunty 🥑 and cousin Dani’s birthdays today. 

Never forget how lucky you are. Never forget how it felt to fall off the couch today. Never forget the skeleton at Costco. Never forget to be good and make the most of this one life you got. Never forget or you’ll be forgotten. See what I did there? 😂 

Sibling

Just so you know. We are trying, now, really hard to get you a sibling. It’s a lot harder than we anticipated. Sorry. I really don’t know if we’ll be successful, but we’ll do our best.

Hopefully, you’ll be fine no matter what happens. We’ll make sure you’re loved and surrounded by family, friends and lots of love too. 

My Gym

Miss Sunny and Miss Sana. It’s been a while since we’ve seen them both at My Gym. You’re very lucky. It’s too bad you don’t fully appreciate it. We’re getting tired of telling you to participate. Eventually we may just take you home or stop going…

I just don’t know if you’ll understand or will it just be lost on you. It really is true that knowledge is power. I wish you all the power in the world, but ignorance is bliss…

Mondays

As much as we can try to fight it, we can’t avoid it. Unless we come into some money #lottery #FUmoney

Until then, it’s Scbool and Work and Life. So work hard. Do well in school and work. And you’ll have more time and a better time at life. Hopefully our financial success as parents does not hinder your success at life. We’re trying our best 🙏.

Best Time For Change

Was yesterday, but the next best time to start change is today. Mommy (and rightfully so) wants to make some changes in you (our interactions with you). It may be tough, but if it works out, it should be better for everyone 🤞.

I hate using fear or physical violence, but it may came to that as your understanding may not be developed w enough at this point. Just know, these changes are not meant to be harmful or hurtful (nothing we do ever is). We are all trying our best (mostly).

Super Saturdays

You’ve got a very busy Saturday. It’s gonna be that way for a while and it’s a good thing. We need to see what you like and what you’re good at.

Debating if I should get you some yogurt or other food since we feed you breakfast on weekends and I occasionally do on weekdays. Gotta make sure you eat so you can be big and strong like…

Day Behind

Don’t really recall what I did yesterday besides recharge a little. 

Although, as I think about it my days are rarely unproductive. Look who is getting so good at haircuts. I also did laundry, worked, met up with Uncle Eric, got Grandpa meds, got gas, got Grandpa money, got beef jerky…I don’t expect you to be as productive as me and I hope you don’t have to, but I do hope you learn to make time for things that are important to you. Sometimes that requires sacrifice and I hope you learn to prioritize the right things. Don’t stand too close to the elephant or you can’t see it all…

Sacrifices and Gambles

Today you woke up at 709A. I suspect it was because mommy leaving for work and opening and closing the garage may have contributed to that. Since it was only 7A, I decided to let you sleep more and lay with you for a while, but I could have just gotten you up and maybe fed you.

Fast forward until you get up about 45 mins later. I let you watch shows while I brush your teeth and put on your shoes. I decide to pack you Cheerios for the car ride. You say you want to eat it now and I let you. Then you say you want milk in it. Ultimately I end up feeding you and we leave a little later. Was that the right choice? I’ll never know…I hope so 🙏 milk in car helps I hope too.

Skeleton 💀

Why are you so scared? Don’t you trust me to tell you that it’s not something to be scared about? I wish you could understand trusting me…

My job is that of a sheep dog. I’m trying to protect you and so you should trust me. Anyhow, you need to speak clearly and nicer when we meet people. Everyone loves you, don’t make them regret it…

Back To The Grind

You were not happy this morning. You did not want to go to So because they make you eat broccoli? Bruh, broccoli is soooo good and good for you. I should start buying broccoli for us to eat…

Anyhow, let me go so I can get ready okay? You can sleep on your own. Thanks for going peacefully with So today. Hopefully you’re more enthusiastic tomorrow 🙏.

Labor Day

Guess what I got you? Cantaloupe 🍈. But more specifically, Tuscan melon. I hope you enjoy it as much as you did on the cruise. Thanks for being nice once we got to Aunty Minh’s. 

Sorry we can’t go back tomorrow. We will try to make more time for it though…
