Dear Khoa & Mai An,

Today we had one of the best day, except for the fact that Big Brother had a vomiting episode and went to sleep an hour later than usual., and Daddy let you stay up so so late - but hopefully your sleeping routine will resume tomorrow. Having Di Mi around absolutely makes Big Brother very excited and happy. We started the day with going to the park where Big Brother played on the swing & slide. You also started rolling down the slides your shoes, and then the tennis balls, and Di Mi would catch it on the other end. You had an incredible amount of fun, but we walked back earlier than usual because it was quite windy today. When we were at the park near our complex, we met up with our neighbor and you had fun interacting too. You let our neighbor's grandpa hold you and play with you, which made me very glad because you have gained a sense of security (or at least I hope so).  At naptime, you insisted on sleeping on the floor all by yourself (you told me to be outside so you can go to sleep by yourself). Hopefully, you will learn to fall asleep by yourself from now on. Napping and sleeping at night remain difficult as you like to play rather than sleep.  Daddy took you to Santana Row at night so you can see the Christmas lights - I hope you enjoyed seeing all the bright lights and get excited about Christmas. When you grow up, I hope to share some Christmas traditions with you so you will learn to love the holidays.

Little Sister had a lot of sleep today and was generally happy. She also cried a little bit at bedtime, but nothing compared to previous days. She enjoyed taking a bath with Mommy and Di Mi and was all happy and smiley the entire time. She smiled a lot today and is super super cute with her constant smiles. She still loves to be wrapped in the Moby all day long. Before bedtime, all three of us took some pictures with Di Mi, which was really fun. So far tonight, she has been sleeping soundly - let's hope for a smooth night :)
