We visited Ada and Robert this morning. On our drive over, we were preparing Mckayla for the visit. We told her about the toy she had picked out yesterday was for the baby and she’s not to touch the baby with her hands. When we got there, Ethan was hanging out in the swing. As [...]

First Cold of the Season
Mckayla caught her first cold of the season after going to Gymboree for two days. Thanks to those parents who don’t follow “No Sick Kid” rule and still brought them to class spreading all the germs. She started sneezing non stop on Wednesday morning, followed by severe congestion. She looked so sad and pathetic when [...]

Work
Earlier today, Mckayla and I were on way home from running errands. She asked me where we were going after we go in the car. I told her we’re heading home because Daddy is waiting for us. She thought about it for a bit, then said, “BaBa needs to go to work, so Mckayla can [...]

Gymboree, we’re back!
Mckayla has been asking us take her back to Gymboree for a while. We put the account on hold in November because we were out of town and hasn’t restarted since. This past week, we were using Gymboree as the bribe to get to sleep on her own. So, on Sunday we took her back [...]

Consequences
Mckayla is getting much better with sleeping on her own at night. As of last night (tenth day), she only came out her room once after Ted tucked her in. But now we have to deal with the consequences. First, she finally figured out she can climb in and out the bed herself. She comes [...]

She answered me and asked for Ted again. But before I answered her question, she said, “BaBa went [...]

Sleep Training, Again
Ever since we came back from Taiwan, Mckayla has insisted on us sleeping with her at night until she falls asleep. In the past few weeks, we have been trying to tell her that she’s a big girl now and needs to sleep on her own. And also “Chow Hu” (a Taiwanese cartoon that she’s [...]

Where’s the cake?
We celebrated Bonnie’s birthday yesterday with some yummy Dim Sum. As I was buckling in her seat to leave, Mckayla said, “Yi Yi happy birthday”. Then, she asked me, “where’s the birthday cake?”.

Potty Training on HOLD
Mckayla has decided to take a potty training break. She woke up on Friday morning and asked Nanny for her diaper. She said, “KK wear diaper today.”. And again on Saturday and Sunday morning. This morning, before I was able to get her change of clothes ready, she told me, “KK does not want to [...]
