Plane Professional

Hey there professional traveler 🧳. Welcome home (I’m assuming we made it home as I’m blogging from the first flight with my free 20 minutes of wifi). I hope you enjoy the next few days of home life before we take you to NY on a longer flight…

Hope you can nap again on the next flight. Sorry mommy didn’t book non-stop. I will try to double check her flight choices in the future. She’s pretty good at booking, but sometimes she misses stuff or is too frugal.

Pool Professional

Look who’s so comfortable being poolside now? This guy 👇:

Minus the phone. I’m looking forward to you going to Bac Minh’s and Uncle Art’s pool. You need to work on your swimming strokes, but at least you’re comfortable in the water now. Keep it up and stop drinking pool water 🙏.

“Home” Mode

I hope you don’t have problems adjusting to “Home” mode. Although you’ll be back on the road again in a week. Good job eating at most meals. Not good job spitting and hitting people.

I don’t want you to be sad, but I’m gonna have to start flicking you to help you kick these bad manners and habits. Hopefully you catch on quick 🙏.

Wedding Day

You did not help. There’s a time for everything. When we tell you to listen, we don’t need you to make us repeat ourselves. I hate using threats and violence, but we might have to come to that so you don’t develop bad habits.

Good job in the pool today. Not so good job taking wedding photos. Unfortunately, wedding photos impact others. That’s a lesson I think is important to learn early on. You can do what you want if it doesn’t impact others, but when it does, you need to think about your action and consequences…

Living Your Best Life

And yet you want to keep saying you want to go home? I’m glad we found the kids play area for you. At least you enjoyed that.

Tomorrow morning is gonna be a busy day for the wedding. Make sure you get some rest today and let your mommy and daddy recharge too. You’re gonna be in some future weddings so take notes…

Airplane ✈️

We’re going on vacation today. I sure hope you have fun, but I know you’re gonna “want to go home”. It’s really sad you don’t know how lucky you are. I never went on vacations when I was growing up. 

We will try our best to make sure you have the best time. We just hope you do. Make sure to eat and sleep good. Listen and participate okay? Thank you!!!

It’s Taking Ages

You have to learn to be patient. You can’t keep having meltdowns when something goes wrong or not your way. I know you’re new to feelings and life, but these are lessons and skills that will serve you well in your life if you master them.

You don’t need a retreat, just need to listen and learn form what we tell you. Trust us, we only want the best for you. 

Stacked Saturdays

You got a lot to do today. My gym, jiu jitsu, Costco, Ana’s birthday, lion dance, Aunty Joann’s birthday. I’m tired thinking about it. You skipped your nap today. Wonder if that means you’re gonna crash early…

Sorry you didn’t eat and sleep well, but we got 2 more things left. You need to make sure you be nice to people we meet. I know you can’t do a lot, but you need to do a little…

Friday Night Lights

That’s when you go watch high school football on Friday nights. We don’t do that, but it did make me think that we should probably try to do something like a family on Friday nights since we don’t have activities?

I think I mentioned a family night. Let’s do it when mom gets back. Tonight was pretty fun right? Tomorow will be too 🥳.

And So It Is

Daddy and Vinh. Mommy doesn’t want you watching TV, but she’s not here so you can watch xiu xiu. As long as you do what you’re supposed to do, I’m fine with a little TV.

Sorry you had a rough shower. I didn’t recall if you washed your hair last night (you said no, but maybe you meant no wash today), but you can wash it today and not have to do it again until Saturday. Let’s have a great time without Mommy (but don’t tell her or she’ll be sad)

Single Father

That’s gonna be me starting tomorrow. Fortunately, the odds are in your favor. Single father households raise children with almost the same success at dual parent households.

But you still need to be able to help me. Remember, we’re a team. You and I are in this together. Let’s do it!!
