Dear Khoa & MaiAn,
Big Brother went to his first day at preschool today and he didn't cry at all. Mommy and Daddy are so proud of you. The sister said that you keep saying "you are a big boy and that you are not going to cry". She said that you ask for Mommy and Daddy, but you also patiently waited for Daddy to come back to pick you up. Mommy and Little Sister were very worried about you at home. I think Little Sister totally sensed Mommy's anxiety so she kept waking up to make sure Mommy was still there with her (though my mind was with Big Brother in spirit). I keep on checking the time to see what you would be doing at the moment. I would imagine all your anxiety (as I was going through my own anxiety) and keep praying (so so hard) that your experience wouldn't be too traumatizing. I couldn't wait for the time you would come home. My heart melted when I heard your voice on the phone. I had missed you so much my dear little boy. You came home happy (though sleep deprived), but you seem to be your normal self. Mommy is planning to spend this weekend bonding with you again since when you come home is also when I have to put Little Sister to sleep. Watching you going to preschool is definitely one of the hardest thing I have to go through. Last night, I went to kiss you good night when you were sound asleep and just watching you peacefully sleeping is one of the best feeling in the world.
Little Sister and I had a low key day at home. It is so different without Big Brother - half of the time I didn't know what to do with myself. Little Sister is still doing the thirty minutes and then waking up on the dot. You also woke up for an hour and a half last night (3:41-past 5am) and was awake for the day at 7:30. You didn't sleep well today, multiples 30 minutes nap. Even when I forced you to sleep longer, you protested by vomiting. At the last nap, I had to put you in the Baby Bjorn (since the Moby is dirty from the morning vomiting) so that you would sleep longer. Hopefully you will outgrow the sleeping in the carrier phase. Well, I am thinking that we are still adjusting - hopefully tomorrow will be better. We all have to go through a lot of adjustment in the next month or so. I thought it was gonna be a rainy day but it turned out to be a very nice day and Mommy took Little Sister out for a walk to help you sleep (but it didn't happen). We missed your "third" nap because Mommy was too anxious waiting for Big Brother to come home. As a result, settling into your night time routine was rough too. and tonight, Mommy is praying that you don't wake up in the middle of the night. It is becoming a bad habit :( I love you very much anyway.
It has been an exciting day. Mommy will try to go to sleep early again to prepare for the night awakening again.
Much Love to my precious Son and Daughter
