Happy Halloween 🎃

It’s your first trick or trick experience. You started off slow, but you figured it out. You seem to be pretty smart. I hope you keep it up.

I’m sorry you got bit today at school. Like always, you seem to take it in stride. It’s an unfortunate risk that comes with not keeping you at home. Soon you’ll be able to communicate better, but for now I hope you learn to defend yourself. Or did you bite the kid first 😂?

I think you’re too busy playing. While you’re a child it’s okay, except when it’s time to eat and sleep. However, when you get older, you’re going to need to learn a little more restraint.

Instead of putting food in your mouth, you’re putting moos in a xe. But you did a good job with that. Hope you’re excited for your hair cut today with Aunty Jenny (Hien).

Understanding

I find myself wondering how much you actually understand. How much leeway should I give you and how stern I should be.

Like are you really not tired or are you trying to avoid sleeping? I wish I knew. I guess I can only try my best and hope for the best. I ask for your forgiveness in advance. Thank you.

Precious Moments

Not the cheesy figurines, but the great moments spent between father and son, me and you.

Thanks for chilling with your dad today in bed so he could get up at his own pace. Thanks for making your laughter so easy to generate. I hope you enjoy these moments as much as I do. I also hope that having your parents will be enough love/entertainment for you as you grow up. Please make sure to have a great time today at the hill 🙏 

Love Languages

I’ll be honest, I’m not sure I really understand this whole love languages thing. But I do understand that how I show love is by making sure your basic needs are met.

I’m currently washing all the bedding so you and momma will have a clean slate tonight. I know it’s probably not exciting or what you had in mind, but it’s what do. I’ll try to do more things you like, but we need to accept a compromise between your preferences and mine. Im soooo sleepy, but I’m gonna pick you up early today because mom asked me to.

You Okay?

You just got over an ear infection so I don’t think you can have another one already, but I don’t pretend to be a doctor like your mom 😉.

I’m sorry I couldn’t hold you longer last night, but unfortunately (or fortunately becuase I have a good job) I had to wake up early for work today. Anyhow, I’ll try to pick you up a little earlier today, but I don’t do that often because I don’t want it to become an expectation, but more importantly I don’t want to ruin your routine. I hope you had a good day at daycare today. Lots of love Boba Chop!!!

Responsibility

Life lesson today: Take Responsibility

It’s probably gonna be a while until you understand and have real responsibilities. In the meantime, you can practice being responsible by not hitting yourself.

As you get older, you’ll start to understand. When you do, you’ll realize that some things in life you can’t control and some things in life aren’t important. You should focus on the important things that you can control and be responsible for that. Life isn’t what happens to you, but how you respond and your response is something you’ll always need to be responsible for. Don’t blame others for your actions. Don’t be one of those people.
