Dear Khoa & MaiAn,

Today was Sunday so Daddy is home to help Mommy taking care of Big Brother while Mommy has more time to attend to Little Sister. Little Sister woke up very early at around 6:15. You haven't had much good nights, constantly waking up to use Mommy as pacifier at night, but for the past two nights, you actually woke up and wanted Mommy's attention in the middle of the night. Mommy was very very tired last night (I think I am still going through a cold) and was thinking of just letting you just being there since I didn't have enough energy, but luckily I garnered enough effort and was able to lure you back to sleep (I was too sleepy to count how long it took me). I keep hoping for the time when you will become a better sleeper so that we all have better nights, hopefully soon, my sweet daughter. You went back to sleep with Mommy at around 7:30 and woke up at 9:15. We went to visit one of Daddy's friend's new baby and you went for the afternoon at 11:40. You lasted for 3:10 in the Moby and you went to sleep for the night at around 5pm. So, overall, I think today was a good day. Watching you sleep gives my heart so much gladness. Seeing a new baby today made me realized that having you in our lives is just so precious.  I miss seeing you that small (when you were sleeping all the time), but at the same time, I love to see how much you have grown.

Big Brother hung out with Daddy all day today going to the Tet festival at Grand Century Mall. Daddy said that when you were given a balloon, you asked for one more for your little sister at home too, which I thought is so sweet. I am so glad that you love your little sister so much. Weekend is my favorites because we are not in the rush of time and the four of us have time to take pictures and really take time to cuddle and hug. Naptime continues to be a battle; Daddy spent 1:10 trying to put you down for nap and Mommy spent about 1:15 to put you to sleep at night before I had to leave the room to go to your Little Sister. If only you would sleep right away so that we don't waste time just laying in bed doing nothing. Hopefully, you are still getting the rest you need. I wonder what will happen tomorrow when I am home with the two of you.

Mommy has been thinking a lot about whether to send Big Brother to school so that I don't have to juggle the two of you to myself, but I fear the crying so much. It is my deepest fear to not be able to protect my precious loves. I know eventually we have to part, but I am trying to hang on to every moment that I get to spend with you two. I am hoping that Little Sister will eventually be able sleep by herself so naptime won't be a battle everyday... hoping it will soon.

Love you both so so much.
