Dear Khoa & MaiAn,.

Today was one of the roughest/worst day of Little Sister's life. You only had three short little nap all lasting about 1/2 hr each. Before bedtime, you cried hysterically for an hour despite everything that Mommy was trying to do desperately to stop the crying, which was probably due to being so tired. I have never heard you cry that much - the shrieking was so rough on my ears that I lost my patience and had to scream too (it was just the two of us at home). You also vomited and you cried so much that your hair was drenched in wetness - definitely one of the most heartbreaking moments of Mommy's life.  After an hour of crying, you fell asleep due to exhaustion and so did Mommy. I was so tired that I didn't hear Daddy and Big Brother coming home. You probably couldn't sleep today because there was too many disruption with your Big Brother's presence. I am hoping that the weekend will give me time so that I can devote 100% to you and hopefully you will recover from today. We have to figure out some plans so that you will sleep better during the day.  Mommy feels so much sadness that I cannot provide you with the care that you truly deserve - making your daytime sleep so erratic. I can't even fathom what will happen when I return to work...  I think I made a lot of wrong decisions today which made your day so terrible. Right now when you are sleeping calmly, I miss your smiling face. I wish that I could do something to make today a distant memory. Hopefully, we will never have a day like today ever again.

Big Brother, on the other hand, had a fun day exploring and being outside. We stayed on this side of the complex where you explored the park, the pool, our neighborhood. Eating remains a struggle for Mommy so you continue to not eat & drink that much. Putting you to bed wasn't too bed; you were tired from all the activities. You didn't sleep very long - I wish I could figure how your brain figures your sleeping so that I can make it that you take your three hour nap at a set time everyday - but still woke up happy. Daddy took you to the library when he got home, which you loved from what I heard. Then, Mommy gave you a bath and off you went to sleep. Despite you giving your Little Sister's trouble to sleeping, you are just so sweet all the time. Lately, you are very good about eating on your own (though you don't eat very much - it must be the independence thing). You also love to drink water very much lately - taking a bottle everywhere we go. You are really into playing with cars, especially big cars dragging little cars. Your vocabulary &/ memory continue to impress me each day.  Today we saw cat while walking and I ask you what the cat was doing, which you responded with "the cat is looking for food." That answer was the smartest thing I have heard in such a long time. Such moment make Mommy realize all the sacrifices that your Daddy and I make are really worth it.  What I also love most is how you say "I love you" to Mommy - it is the sweetest thing to my ears.  

Here is really to a better day tomorrow. Much Love to my prince and princess.
