Dear Khoa and an,
Today, little sis has a good nap day with 2 hrs in the morning, 1 in the afternoon, and now taking your third nap. Mommy spent a lot of time with you in the sun since you really hate the trivitamins drops and I am hoping that you will sleep at night better with the dose of c sunshine. The last few nights have been really late for you (8:20 pm) and you are up by 6:40 am. You still show some resistance at nap time, but much better than what happened on Sunday. If we can get an hr in, then we can all have some family bonding time when big brother comes home. You are very sweet these days and you love to be constantly in momma's attention. You can certainly grasp on to objects now. Today, you were fascinated with the rainbow fish book, so mommy keeps reading it to you. I think you like all the silvery scales. You are also good at scooting yourself around. Your infectious laughs just make your whole family melt to pieces. Big brother really miss you too.
Big brother has been having a lot of nightmares lately, which pain mommy and daddy to no ends. We wish we don't have to drop you off at school as it is the most difficult task. Daddy says you show no resistance but you are not happy. The crying every morning hurts too. I am not sure whether it's because of school or just your adjustment process overall. We see a little change in personality - you are much more cranky when you don't get what you want and would even cry a little. Mommy and little sis picked you up yesterday and you were simply the happiest boy in the whole wide world. Since spring is here and the day is longer, we spend a lot of time outside for you to ride bicycle, your car, and play in the park. You are going thru a cold so last night mommy spent a lot of time just laying next to you while you restlessly sleep as you couldn't breathe well. Mommy still misses you so much and think of you constantly when I am away from you.
I love you both so so much.

Happy 29 months my precious son
Dear Khoa and an,
My precious baby is 29 months today and I love you more and more everyday. I love you the most of out all the people in this whole world. You are still struggling to get used to school and miss hanging out with your parents so much. Every time I have to be with baby sister, you would say I want to be with you mommy, and it just breaks my heart that I cannot spend more time with you. Yesterday, mommy and big brother went to toy r us and you had so much fun playing train, riding tricycle, scooter, rollerblade, pushing stroller, but the most fun was when you played with the tractors. You are such a classic boy who loves trucks and cars so so much. You are just so so sweet I cannot even describe how much I love you. You are singing so much and you love to read books with mommy. You also like to read books to mommy which is nothing short of cuteness either. Even though you look like such a big boy, you are still my precious baby who I love love so so much. After two days of being home, you had to go back to school and cried your whole way there, but we have to do this. It hurts so much to hear you cry, to let you go...
Something is going on with little sister again. You are waking up at the wee hours of the morning again. Yesterday was the worse in terms of daytime nap. Nothing would soothe you and you only slept for maybe an hour all day. You were so exhausted but wouldn't fall asleep. Mommy was so frustrated that I gave up. Whatever it is that you are going thru, I hope it will past us soon. I was so mad at you, but at night when you were peacefully sleeping, I simply adored you as I was laying next to you, my precious one. You were so calm as there was not a single care in the world. How can we get you to sleep like that all the time? Today, you keep sleeping for 30' and waking up crying so mommy had to let you uncomfortably sleep in moby. Hoping this nap will last a long time....
Love you both very very much.

Dear Khoa and Mai an,
Mommy has been so bad at writing. Let me blame it on the emotional toll of being away from big brother and little sister's nap resistance. This week big brother went to school for four days straight, which was hard for both of us. Mommy keeps thinking about big brothe all day long. Sometimes, I am at loss with what to do, maybe take care of little sister perhaps. One day, the sister told us that they were telling a story about mothers and big brother shed a few tears. When you were comforted, you cried even harder and vomited. Hearing that story just breaks my heart and makes me even more guilty about sending you to preschool. You are still adjusting to school; I can tell that you dread it every morning, but it's like you don't have a choice. I don't get to spend much time with you when you are at school, which adds to my guilt of course. We usually go to the park when you come home for some mommy and Khoa time. You really enjoy the monkey bar, scooter, watching older kids play soccer these days. On happier note, you still amaze me with your ability to remember things I tell you, songs that you sing... Just being with you make me so happy with your cuteness. Yesterday, we went to petsmart to get you some fishes. You love going there just to see the different animals. You love to tap on the fish tank to get the fish to move. You went to your first Easter egg hunt last week; it was just so cute to watch you pick the eggs. Currently, you love to say "khong thi thoi" when we ask you to do something, but you don't want to do it. It's very cute to hear you say it. Ever since you started school, you are not resisting nap anymore. The bad thing is you don't nap for that long at school, but we don't have a choice.
As for little sister, you have grown quite strong with your ability to maneuver with your body. You can roll from one side of bed to another. You can also push mommy away when you are full. No more nursing to sleep. You are quite hard to soothe to sleep, which frustrate mommy to no end. Sometimes, I really lost my patience and you totally sense that frustration and become even more fussy. So, what I have learned is to take you outside for a change in environment and both of us tend to be better. Last night, you woke up at 3 am again and I couldn't soothe you back to sleep again. Hopefully, you don't wake up at these hours anymore. The waking up after 30' at bedtime is gone (hopefully), but you still wake up a lot at night. Usually mommy is just too tired so I don't even bother to count how often. Naps range from 3.5-4.5 hrs and nighttime is from 11-12 hrs. You also started crawling somewhat. You love to be held and doesn't want to be by yourself at all. Today, we gave you a few tasting of vanilla yogurt, which you tried but not enough to ask for more. Still no teeth yet even though you are always drooling. You are so very good at peeing and pooping in the toilet, much far exceeds mommy and daddy's expectations. It's getting warm so you usually go diaper free when you are awake. You laugh all the Time if you are in a good mood and love to look at yourself in the mirror.
That's all updates for now while little girl is taking morning nap and big brother is out with daddy.
Love you both so so much.
