Dear Khoa&MaiAn,

Today was a very bad for both of you, and Mommy was so exhausted at the end of the day that Mommy lost her temper with Big Brother. We all were very tired actually and were not our usual selves. Mommy will apologize to Big Brother tomorrow for being not so nice to him and letting him cry. Mommy feels terrible; hopefully we will have a better day.

The day was bad because both of you decide not to sleep so Mommy had to battle with two tired/fussy babies who were crying on and off all afternoon. Our morning was good with our morning walk. Big Brother explored everywhere (although the usual spots of the post office, the park, the other complex, since we proceeded by walking) and had so much fun.  Little Sister slept from 10-12:10 during our morning exploration, and then woke up when Mommy started to feed Big Brother. Big Brother didn't feel like eating much of anything so we went to nap at around 12:30. However, you didn't fall asleep until 2pm. You were tired, but you were probably so used to Daddy putting you for nap that you resisted Mommy so much, keep asking to go outside and munch on food. Since Mommy said "no", you then asked to hold baby for Mommy, but unfortunately baby was very fussy and kept crying all the time, which was very unusual. You would cry if Mommy doesn't hold you for a long time, but you would be happy again if Mommy embraces you. However, today, even with Mommy holding you and trying to put Big Brother to sleep, you were not your calm self and cried a lot regardless. You didn't want to feed in the afternoon either. The loud crying made you even more "alert" so it was quite a fiasco for both of you to be in the same room. You slept for only 50' and never went back to sleep. Little Sister only slept for 30' and then woke you too. So Mommy spent about an hour trying to convince both of you that sleep would be the best solution - but Mommy didn't succeed. Little Sister took another cat nap of 25', but for most of the afternoon, you were either crying and looking very tired. Mommy wishes that you would have been sleeping all those time, but the noise and the stress from your Brother's probably add on to your stress and we had a rough/sleeplessness afternoon. Tonight, when Mommy put Little Sister to sleep, you keep wanting to cling on to Mommy's breast for another hour and a half even though you are already sleeping. You probably wanted Mommy close by since your day was so rough.

Little Brother went to sleep earlier, but not as early as Mommy would have liked, because Daddy took you to the library. You are not sleeping well tonight either, keeping calling out for Mommy and Daddy. I hope that you will be able to sleep for a long time tonight and get the rest you need to recover from today.

Mommy Loves both of you so much. Here's to a better day tomorrow.
