So at bedtime after books and during prayer:
M: after your birthday party when you turn 3, you'll get to stop using a sippy cup. You'll drink only on open cups. You'll also get to stop wearing pullups. Underwear for naps and bedtime. Children who are three are big and (repeat news)
L: after my birthday everyone will use open cups etc but L will use sippy cups.
M: repeat.
L: thinks about it

Noi tiếng Viêt
We met up with my parents at Bac Du's house Saturday evening and Lincoln was talking to them in VN. Then Bac Gai' said that when they start school they lose it. I told her I'm afraid of that happening too so I'm trying very hard to keep it in our house.
Yesterday I noticed Lincoln speaks English almost all the time even at home. Gasp! When/how did this happen without my noticing it?
So I spoke VN all day and also translated everything he said into VN. It worked! By the time Q came home he could repeat himself in VN and ask for things in English, then VN. Whew!
Gotta keep my eye in the ball.

Brain Freeze!
Went to Phonecian Deli for dinner Sunday evening.
L loved the bread, liked the hummus. For the first time, complimented cucumbers and tomatoes.
Afterwards we checked out the Gelato selection. L got to try several flavors. We finally ordered a M w dark chocolate- for me, and forest berries- for L and Daddy. With two "spoons" in hand he said "I like forest berries!" We didn't notice how fast he was gulping down the ice cold cream until he wailed, the tip of his nose turning red, and whimpered "owie!". Brain freeze! Lol
We're definitely going back!

Cookies!
L balled up and cut how own sugar cookies! Two stars and a gingerbread man.
When the cookies were done he was so thrilled that he ate 2!
After dinner we also made walnut chocolate chip cookies from scratch.
He squeezed each scoop of dough onto the baking sheet.
A fun day!

A day in the life of Lincoln
Lincoln's first day back at YCP. He ate all of his strawberries, most of the cheese squares, and some of the ham squares. Over an hour of nap.
+ was able easily to match up snowmen's scarves
- ran out of line even after Ms Maria said to get back. Pouted upon correction
We went to Tina's house afterwards and she gave him THREE "shake n go" cars!
McQueen
Professor 2
And another
Lincoln wrote capital L's all on his own today.
He really gnawed on his pork chop bones tonight and asked if he could have more from "under the nong'"

Playing outside
Our first morning outside since Baby Carter. This is after playing basketball and two squares.
We just had a breakfast of waffle and berries and whipped cream and milk. I had to bribe him with basketball to get him to try blueberries for the first time. He liked it and ate three more!
L just "showed" me "how to make a triangle" by putting the ends if his sunglasses together.
Gotta go play!

Lincoln @ Jojo's
Took Lincoln to spend the evening with Co Tuyet and the kids. When I picked him up he was in his flannel striped pj's, hoodie jacket and carrying his "Bolt" doggie. What a sight!
I finally was able to capture him on camera singing Jingle Bells! Very cute.
He's growing so tall and knows so much! O yeah, I called Ms. Maria to see if YCP resumes today; it's teacher inservice but she did say that Lincoln is so fun to talk to because she "can reason with him". She also commented that she loved our Christmas letter.
These are the good days I'm going to miss. Glad I'm documenting!
