I feel loved.
As I was getting all dolled up for my ladies night out birthday dinner, L walks quietly into my restroom. He looks at me with adoration and I can tell he is in love with me. He takes it all in, asks
L: What are we eating?
M: Tuna tetrazini
L: Where are we going?
M: you and daddy are eating pasta at home, I'm going with Co Ami and di Van.
L: L and mommy đi voi cô Ami and di Van.
Dady ở nha voi Baby C.
Q convinces him it's going to be fun to watch Cars, eat dinner and then have popcorn. L wishes me a fun time. Then as I walk put the door he wants me to come back. But doesn't put up a fight.
I missed him a lot actually. There was a beautiful dragon dance at Saigon Pagolac tonight. I wish he could have bees there to see it!
My ladies love me too. Thank you Tina for the decadent chocolate cake! It was divine!

Birthday!
We went to Red Lobster to celebrate my birthday weekend last night. When dessert came out with a candle, L's eyes lit up. As the server placed the cake in front of me, L bursted into tears.
It was hilarious! The poor thing was so excited to get a birthday only to be disappointed that it wasn't his after all. Poor thing.
He pulled himself together pretty quickly and dang Happy Birthday to me though. What a trooper.
Thank you Lincoln. I love you!

Sleeping through the night
L never really ever slept through the night. It's something we accept and to a certain extent even embrace.
Writing this entry reminds me that it might be the reason he's hyperactive- because he's not well rested.
A dear friend of mine shares that after family prayer, they tell the kids what will happen tomorrow if the kids sleep in until the designated time. I tried it with L last night.
I need you to sleep through the night. If you wake up, go back to sleep until the an comes up. Do not wake up Daddy to put you back to sleep. I know you can do it. If you slope through the night Daddy will take you to the mall playground tomorrow. If not, we will still go to the mall but we will walk past the playground.
He burst wildly into our room at sunrise this morning:
"L ngu giới!
Daddy cho L đi playground ở mall được không?!"
Precious.

New Year breakfast
Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year.
L woke up requesting:
I need waffle mommy.
Funny. I didn't think he liked waffle. But I sure do! So I fixed him some waffles and strawberries. Me: with bananas and walnut and whipped cream. Yum! What a way to get in our fruits.
Come to think of it, he had a VN waffle-shaped coconut leaf pastry yesterday at Ba Nois house. That's probably what he was asking for this morning.

Tet shopping
This year Tet shopping included taking the while family with the two boys in a double stroller to HK. It was Carter's first time to stroll around in the big bog seat.
Big brother Lincoln passed out shortly after we got there but Carter was do excited he stated awake the whole time, looking at everything. He did r fall asleep until the tail end of left wrapping- and it took over an to wrap these 6 gifts.
I love to Tet family with the traditional red cellophane wrapping. The gift wrapping lady commented that my gifts were meaningful, not any of the preserved fruit that no one eats, but foods each person would prefer!
