Behind Again

Sorry. It’s Friday. But I’m sorry like for reals. Not like when you say sorry. I think you say sorry to acknowledge you did something wrong, but I don’t think you understand that you need to stop doing it.

I haven’t taken many pictures. I’ll let mommy take the lead on that. Sorry you busted your head in VN. 2026 is gonna be a better year. 🙏 

Christmas In January

You’re still getting treats and surprises into January. I can’t emphasize enough how lucky you are. It’s the fruit of our relationships with others. You’re cute, but your attitude sucks often. 

That being said. It’s a new year. Let’s work on being better. If so, there’s a shiny garbage truck in your future. And less smacking and yelling by your parents. You can do it!!! 🙏 

The Grind

Back to it. Seems like you and mommy had a hard time getting back to it. I’m hoping you aren’t starting a bad slope. I hope it’s not the terrible 3s… 🙏 

The year is still early. You can make positive changes for 2026. It’s gonna be a great year little buddy. We can do it!!!

Slow Sunday

And there’s nothing wrong with that. You didn’t have a good night. What’s the deal? Either you love us and you want us to stay or you hate us and you don’t. You can’t be like I don’t like you, but I’m gonna cry and ask you to sleep with you…

Do better. We can’t deal with this all the time. We need to all get rest. I always have to wake you up in the morning. “I can’t sleep a lot” 🤦‍♂️ 

Happy Birthday Aunty Ly Ly

We missed Ba Ban, but at least we got to see everyone else and I got to eat crab. You also got to skip Jiu Jitsu and see Aunties today. I’m sorry you got hurt while brushing your teeth. You really have to be more careful.

Anyhow, you need to remember names better. At least you remembered Aunty Kim. She’s so nice to you. I’m sorry I couldn’t sleep with you and you were sad, but I’ll make sure to spend more time with you.

Day 2 of 2026

“I don’t want to go anywhere” is how the day started…At least it’s Friday.

I’m sorry you have to go to So. If I didn’t have to work, I would totally spend the day with you and do super fun stuff. Unfortunately, we need money to buy things and pay bills. If you could help us win the lottery, we could hang out all the time. Until then, you’re gonna have to get used to being away from me. Also, remember consequences. You didn’t get Yoggie bites on your way to school today because you didn’t reply when I asked if you wanted anything. Remember that for next time…

2026

On track. Day one, not one day. Same goes for you son. You can make today the beginning of a good journey.

Mommy cooked today. Hopefully she also makes today day one as well 🙏. Anyhow, it’s a good time to remind you that you can’t control what other people do, but you can control how you respond. Don’t let others make your life hard. And remember that life is give and take. Don’t always be taking…
